Who this kids daily journal is for

This journal is for children who are starting to write about their days, thoughts and feelings. It suits kids aged about six to twelve, families building a calm bedtime routine, and teachers or homeschool parents looking for a gentle daily writing habit. Children who journal regularly often find it easier to express feelings, notice good moments and practice handwriting and spelling without it feeling like schoolwork, and the finished pages become a treasured record of childhood.

How to use your kids daily journal

Each day, fill in the daily page with the date, weather and a few lines about what happened. Draw a picture of the best part on the draw page. When ideas run short, choose a question from the prompts page. Color in today's feeling on the feelings page and talk about it together. Log books read on the books page, and write one thing your child is proud of each week on the proud page.
