Journaling is such an incredible tool for children in so many areas of their development and overall well-being. Journaling: *Helps children feel empowered by enhancing creative problem-solving, *Gives them space to work through their own emotions and experiences, *Stimulates imagination and creativity, and *Assists with their academic growth by providing unstructured and enjoyable writing experiences and promoting a growth mindset. In a nutshell, journaling increases confidence, resilience, self-love, emotional development, and regulation. Having the time and space to write freely about their life validates children’s experiences and emotions, teaches them to care for and prioritize their emotional needs, and assists them in healing from difficult experiences. In this one-time class, students will be provided with printable journal pages that encourage a variety of journaling tools including: ~freewriting, ~gratitude journaling, ~affirmations, ~daily intentions ~sketching/drawing. The videos for this class are designed to encourage students to create an enjoyable journaling practice and include detailed explanations about, and examples of, all of the styles of journaling mentioned above. This class comes with a printable daily journal titled, “It’s a Good Day to Have a Good Day!” The PDF of the journaling pages includes 8 unique pages (see class video for examples). Five of the pages are meant to be done each day as part of a daily journaling practice! You can print these pages as many times as you like and bind them or put them in a simple 3-ring binder. (If you prefer to purchase an already printed and bound copy of the journal, see learner supplies below for information on that).
