Daily journal for kids aged 8-11. This is the 'big brother' of the best-selling Happy Confident Me Journal: it includes different daily questions and quotes, as well as age-appropriate explanations of 10 essential life skills. Based on the latest research on happiness, emotional development and neuroscience and developed by Psychotherapist Annabel Rosenhead and Parenting Expert Nadim Saad. This beautifully illustrated, full colour journal takes children (aged 8-11) on a ten-week journey, instilling 10 essential life skills that will develop positive daily habits and build their confidence and happiness. The 10 essential life skills are: 1. Knowing Yourself; 2. Feeling your Feelings; 3. Positive Thinking; 4. Building your Growth Mindset; 5. Learning from mistakes; 6. Resilience; 7. Boosting your Confidence; 8. Being Mindful; 9. Kindness and Empathy; 10. Self-acceptance. This journal explains these 10 skills in a fun and engaging way. Children then have 5 minutes of daily journaling each day which consist of a daily quote and daily questions which are different each day. They also get a weekly activity as well as a family activity. These are all focused around the theme of the week, and they are written in a way that your child begins to put the lesson into practice and can see the positive effects immediately. There is no other journal on the market that takes this approach, and it also includes additional pages each week to give them space to further write doodle or draw and Worry Box pages at the back of the journal that they can use to write out and work around worries (and then tear out once they have resolved them).
