Journaling is a practice that offers numerous benefits to adults, including stress relief, mental clarity, and overall life improvement. The benefits it offers to children and teens go even further.
More than ever, children need an outlet for their thoughts, a receptacle for their big ideas, and a way to express their creativity. Journaling is a simple way to support these needs.
A Healthy Habit
The simple act of keeping a record of your days can be a cathartic exercise in the present and an enlightening gift for your future self. A journal offers the benefit of allowing space to flesh out your thoughts and feelings, capture ideas, clarify your intentions, and enjoy activities such as doodling or making lists. It also offers a record to look back on for further understanding and introspection in the future.
