Review: Happy Confident Me Journal
I was recently sent the Happy Confident Me Journal to review on my blog. It’s a daily journal that is aimed at children aged between 7 and 12 years old. Its purpose is to promote increased happiness, self confidence, optimism, pride, resilience and gratitude.
It was developed by Psychotherapist Annabel Rosenhead and Parenting Expert and best-selling Author Nadim Saad. This bright, colourful journal is beautifully illustrated and offers children different inspiring quotes and questions every day.
It opens up 7 to 12 years olds’ abilities to better understand themselves, reflect on the positives each day and find it easier to discuss their feelings and identify their emotions.
In a world where mental health issues among the younger generations are on the rise, this is the first of a series of Happy Confident Me Journals. These journals take kids on a journey of 10 weeks of journaling, to allow new more positive habits to be formed and better equip your kids to be stronger, happier and more confident.
Packed with daily quotes to inspire and fun weekly activities, each day your child has four questions to complete about their day. With free pages each week to give them space to further write doodle or draw, this is the only journal of its kind on the market today.
YOUR KIDS WILL LEARN
- To focus on the positive things they can be grateful for each day
- To identify their feelings each day positive and negative
- To understand themselves better
- To develop a greater sense of pride in their actions
PARENTS WILL BENEFIT FROM
- Understanding your children better
- Being able to discuss feelings more openly
- Helping your kids express themselves more clearly
- Finding new ways to motivate your children
Children can write, draw or doodle about their ideas, hopes, thoughts, feelings, troubles, worries, ambitions, plans, dreams and more. I really like that at the beginning of the journal it explains how the journal works and what its for in an age appropriate way that’s easy for children to understand.
One of my favourite facts from the journal is:
When we write about how we think and feel each day, it has an INCREDIBLE effect on how our BRAINS work. Scientists have proven that it can make us feel FANTABULOUS!
There are lots of other fun facts like this throughout the journal. There are tips how to be happy, as well as plenty of activity and doodle pages. My twins are 8 years old and they’ve really found the Happy Confident Me Journal enjoyable to fill in and complete together, especially during the lockdown.
