If you can’t understand your feelings and emotions, you can become stuck in unpleasant feelings, and not be able to shift to a more pleasant way of feeling. However, when used every day your child will find they gain the positive effects delivered from journaling a lot quicker.
This journal encourages the development of a growth mindset in children, with 10 chapters covering topics like how mistakes help you grow, as well as be unique, be you. After seeing our two older testers using it for a little over a week, it was interesting how they were already starting to reframe situations to have a more positive outlook, and were talking about themselves with more confidence. This is particularly relevant if you have also purchased the Super Journal or the Life Skills Journal as these are the perfect complement that allows kids to better understand each character skill and to practice it every day. With over 60 highly engaging activities, kids will be helped to understand themselves more, identify their feelings, and learn to let go of fear, anxiety or anger and increase their kindness and compassion towards themselves and others. It would help her process some feelings that she may find difficult to express (She lost her dad recently).Using a structured format for only 5 minutes a night, they’ll develop a positive daily habit that will increase their happiness and confidence. And with The Happy Confident Me Daily Journal, your child will enjoy developing a positive daily habit that will result in them feeling greater optimism and enjoying better sleep. Fearne Cotton’s Yoga Babies is one of the best picture books for encouraging mindfulness in little ones, so we were excited to trial her latest kids’ offering, Your Mood Journal, which is broken up into seven chapters, each one tackling a different emotion like anger, happiness or loneliness. It’s been especially crafted by parenting coach Nadim Saad and psychotherapist Annabel Rosenhead to encourage a wealth of important skills in children, including self-awareness, positive thinking, resilience, growth mindset, confidence, mindfulness, kindness and gratitude. Children don’t cope well with failure as opposed to seeing mistakes as part of a journey in learning.
We tested a wide variety of journals with children aged 10, eight and five over several weeks, and are pleased to say that our kids have adopted a daily journal writing practice as a result, something they find enjoyable and calming.We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice. It’s not always easy for children to verbalise what they’re thinking, whether it’s recounting a school day in more detail than monosyllables or discussing fears and worries they’re anxious about. My daughter, in particular, like many, was struggling to make the transition from ‘mum school’ to actual school, and bedtime became the time when all the ‘feelings’ surfaced. We’re particularly impressed with this one though, which uses cute characters to encourage kids to identify their emotional state (the older kids version uses emojis).
This is why I founded the Happy Confident Company and the Happy Confident Movement, to help develop new programmes and products for children, schools and families that will better prepare them for this new world. Written by psychotherapist Annabel Rosenhead and parenting coach Nadim Saad, Happy Confident Me is designed to be used for just five minutes a day over 10 weeks, to build up your child’s gratitude practice and help them identify their different emotions and form positive habits. You’ll also find “all about me”, “letter to my future self” and “gratitude” pages, as well as space for drawings or photos throughout.
That our positive behaviours have a positive affect on others as well as ourselves and the world around us. Within each episode children are given more tools to help them identify and articulate their feelings, and develop the skills to self-regulate. Focusing on the page that shows how the journaling pages work, ask them questions about what they find interesting, which bits they think they will enjoy the most. Whether you prefer shouting about it, scribbling it down on paper, or blogging the pants out of a situation, out is best. This is a really important part of the positive daily habit they are creating, as it allows them to realise that their feeling are temporary and that we have more than one feeling each day.
