A question every day of the year to help kids explore who you are.
Using a journal can help start the conversation around everyday life growing up. Having daily conversations about what you are grateful for individually and as a family can have lasting benefits not just to the kids in the house, but also for the grownups.
Improve confidence and self-esteem - Both can be gained when challenged and overcome that challenge. For many children, writing is a new skill. By empowering them to use this new skill to express what they're inner thoughts and feeling they can help improve their self-esteem.
Promote Happiness with Kid friendly questions - Expressing gratitude has been shown to increase happiness. When helped, kids create a habit of writing in their gratitude journal, they can focus on people, objects, and characteristics that they are thankful for.
Support Physical and Mental Health - Gratitude journals can help reduce stress and anxiety, which in turn, can help improve sleep. When kids have less stress they can focus more on their education, playing with their friends, and they will likely have better-listening ears too.
Boosts Positivity - We can't dictate how our kids will think, but teaching them to incorporate a gratitude journal into their day can help them have more positive thoughts. Starting the practice of journaling can also give them a tool to use now and throughout their life.
