ティーン向け自信プロジェクト（継続セクション）

New Class begins June 12th (Wednesdays).  

The Self-Confidence Project recognizes that adolescence can be very challenging and encourages teens to express themselves through bullet journaling and self-exploratory handouts and class discussions.  Each week we will connect as a group and create a bullet journal page, or a skills building exercise that centers on a self-affirming topic.  
Here are 4 benefits of journal writing for students:

1.     Improves writing and communication skills. It goes without saying that the more a student writes her thoughts out on paper, the better she (or he) will be at putting her emotions into words and communicating her needs to others, but what many of us don’t realize is that journals for students also provide a fun and effective way for young adults to work on their writing, spelling, and grammar skills. Of course, a journal is meant to be a private, unedited place for stream-of-consciousness writing, but you will be surprised to see how your child’s skills improve when she continues to put pen to paper.
2.     Provides an outlet. Whether your child suffers from excessive stress, or takes life in stride, there’s no denying that kids of all ages have worries, and journaling provides a fabulous outlet to help them address their feelings. Younger kids will likely want to share their journal with you, but if your child chooses to keep her journal private, she’ll have a place to express herself freely without feeling as though she needs to censor her thoughts for the benefit of others.
3.     Promotes a sense of calm. Writing our thoughts out on paper forces us to come to terms with the things we’re feeling, working through her thoughts will typically bring her back to a state of calm.
4.     Provides solutions. There are tons of journal prompts and worksheets for students that are designed to help kids think outside of their comfort zones, and as your child writes, she will inevitably start to come up with solutions to her problems. (Source:  Meraki Lane).
