Journal Buddies Review & Giveaway

 

Life just seems to get harder and harder for the youth and 

children now days. With all the drama around them, broken

families, bullies and things that can tear down their self-esteem

and self-worth I think they need that extra nudge to help them

feel loved, safe, wanted and important. 

I know my girls have their days when to them they feel like

the entire world is falling apart and no one cares or no

one is there for them. It breaks my heart when they feel 

down and like they are not important or special. 

I found this fun website online that sells a great product 

for kids living in today's crazy world. Journal Buddies is 

a special journal specific to girls or boys that helps them

see and point out the special people they are, to help them

connect and communicate what they feel. 

"One of the simplest and most powerful ways to build

self-esteem in kids is to tell them exactly what it is that makes

them so incredible and amazing! The easiest way to achieve 

this is to make a concerted effort to point out the special 

qualities, traits or talents that you admire about your child" 

"After you've pointed out exactly what it is that makes your child

so wonderful, simply make sure they have fully absorbed what

you have told them.This simple yet powerful self-esteem action

is the basis of Journal Buddies!" 

 

These books can give your child a core self-esteem experience

that lives inside and can last with them forever. Once a day for 30

days you can take the time to share what you love and admire about

your child and have them record this experience in their journal.  

 

We received "A Girls Journal for sharing and Celebrating Magnificence" 

and I am so excited to work on it with my girls. I know my oldest will really 

benefit from it as we go through the day to day questions and point out

her positive qualities and just focus on how special she really is and 

magnify those feelings to keep with her and remember them when she 

may have times of questioning herself or feeling down. Nothings worse

than feeling like you are not important, when in reality it is the furthest 

thing from the truth that anyone could ever feel about themselves. 

 

One thing I also love about this journal is that the girls have their buddies

help them complete their journal. During the 30 days they can have the 

same buddy help them, or chose someone new each time. Its all up to 

them! They can choose a buddy from school, a grandparent, a family

member, neighborhood friend, brother or sister, a parent or an Aunt.

If they feel its too personal they may even choose to involve a favorite

pet or imaginary friend for the day to be their journal buddy. 

Journal Buddies also allows them to bring out their creativity and 

what they enjoy doing, such as drawing, painting, cutting & pasting, 

fun with stickers or stamps. The most important thing is that its up

to them ITS THEIR CHOICE how they want to use and keep this 

journal. One of the things to help make it extra special to them as well. 

Ideas & words are included to help get the mind flowing with 

thoughts and things they may want to write or express in other ways. 

When the journal is complete they can look back and see all the

wonderful ways they discovered and magnified on how special and

important they & their buddies really are! 

I think these books are a great teaching tool and I am

looking forward to see the positive changes that can 

follow as my daughters learn more about themselves 

and accept themselves for who they are! I think I will

see an improvement in my 9 year olds anxiety over

the worry about not being good enough for everyone

around her and help her stress less over the things that

may not be as bad as they seemed. 

I think many girls 7-12 could benefit from this book as 

they go through out lives changes as they grow into 

pre-teens and beyond. Thanks Journal Buddies for a

fabulous journal to help our girls along the way! Well done!
