Mind Dump It: My little book of thoughts

Remember the journal you had as a teen? Maybe you called it a diary, and like most others of its kind, it probably came with a leather or vinyl cover, lots of empty pages, and maybe even a lock and key. If you are one of those parents who never journaled as a child/teen, then you need to know that journaling is an effective tool in helping children regulating their emotions and articulating their thoughts. There are a lot of benefits to journaling, and this article has everything you need to know about how to get your child started with their personal journal. Journaling is a good activity for children who are reluctant to speak so they can have their own private space to pen down their thoughts. It can also be highly useful as an educational tool when your child has difficulty in exams, changes in routines, bullying and much more... Once giving permission from your child, you can set aside some quality time to talk through the emotions. This journal has been differentiated for children who are not yet able to write sentence too... I have include additional pages where your child can draw about how they feel.
