Comments on: How to Boost Your Child’s Emotional Intelligence With the Best Secret Weapon https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/journals-for-kids/ Thu, 05 Jan 2023 12:11:06 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Merryl https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/journals-for-kids/#comment-43988 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=12393#comment-43988 Are we ignoring introverts here? I stopped eating breakfast at13. When I realized I was never hungry until late morning. And it was ok to be hungry during 4th period math. I enjoyed nothing more than finding a quiet corner to think or read, uninvaded by sibs wanting attention and interaction. Or to “start trouble.” And it was infuriating, when my mother noticed me quietly sitting, and decided I “needed more chores.” I was wise, analytical, self -contained and knew myself. I did not want to share my feelings with anyone. Especially my unsupportive family. I knew I was on my own, and didn’t need help from anyone. I was emotionally intelligent by nature, which I consider synonymous with maturity. But it’s challenging when society reveres busy, social extraverts, and tries to make us all fit into that shape.

]]> By: Rose https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/journals-for-kids/#comment-38072 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=12393#comment-38072 I’m wondering if the mom and me journal would be something good for my almost 11-year-old daughter and myself. We had always been close until the past year she became a little distant. She also comes from a broken home and I’ve remarried. She does seem to struggle with her emotions and is quite moody-possibly hormones. I’m looking for a way to reconnect. She is a wonderful writer and artist but I’ve never even thought about journaling. I did pick up a copy of “Wreck This Journal” recently.

You may be aware that these people rarely interact and are often lost in their own world. To bring these Autistic personalities in our world calls for some real action plan ( Basically bring them in real world). Can you suggest how journaling will help them?

]]> By: Lizzy https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/journals-for-kids/#comment-8143 https://happyyouhappyfamily.com/?p=12393#comment-8143 Such an amazing list thank you! We love journaling in our house. It is lovely to see happy kids that are able to write down their thoughts from the day, we have tried a few from your list actually. I’ve come across one recently that I’m going to purchase next- The I CAN Journal- It is less costly than some of the others but looks to have similar aims- worth a go!

I just wanted to say I love your blog! Especially this article on the 10 Best Journal for Kids. I linked to it from my related blog post (the one I added to the website field in my comment profile). It would make my day if you checked it out and maybe even shared it with your readers.
Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day!
Sincerely,

I’m looking into the Loom Journal. It’s pretty expensive have you seen it – I’d live to know your thoughts.

I think this is exactly what I’m looking for for my 10 year old son. I’ve added it to my amazon cart but there aren’t any preview pages to get an idea of the content or layout.

HI Kelly, Sean and Katie – I am a dad and I am a big fan of journaling (I did it for more than 30 years)… Last year, I created a journal for my kids, focused on leadership skills…it’s called “I AM A LEADER – a 90-Day Leadership Journal for Kids (ages 8 – 12)..

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1951028023/

I think it has more of dad’s perspective/take on daily appreciation/mindfulness/goal setting…hope this is helpful.

Sean and Kelly, I see you and I hear you. I’m the author of “Between Mom and Me,” the mother son journal Kelly mentions. (Thank you, Kelly!) I think so many dads are amazing and active parents that deserve to have the opportunity to journal with their kids. So exciting news—Between Dad and Me (father son journal) and Love, Dad and Me (father daughter journal) released earlier this month. I hope they can fill that gap you’re looking for. ??

I agree with you 100%, Sean. Why don’t they make the same type of journal in #1 for dads?! Makes no sense to me. That’s so awesome that you and your son love journaling together!
