United Kingdom10/ 10 for children's journal
Helps my 7 year old to practice writing skills aswell as recognising and expressing her emotions.
United StatesMy son now thinks positive
I recently started the big life journal with my 7 year old son (1.5 weeks back). When we started he would always be negative and have nothing to write for being grateful/happy about. He would always mark the crying smiley for his feeling for the day. This journal has forced him to think positive. He actually wrote in his recent entry that the thing he learnt that day is that he could be anything he wanted. We have also started actually identifying atleast 1 good thing in a day when we always saw nothing going right at all. These were some big deal small steps we are making with the big life journal.
United StatesAmazing resource
My son loves this journal. His first journal entry was that he learned that he can learn from failure. If that alone is instilled from this, it’s priceless. So grateful Santa/Dad thought of it!
United StatesGreat for 4 year olds with big feelings
My 4yo daughter has big feelings. She gets anxious and overwhelmed and doesn’t know how to handle those feelings sometimes. This book has helped so much. We do it at night before going to bed. I also feel like she’s much more comfortable talking about her feelings now
United StatesGreat addition to bedtime routine
I’m super hesitant to write this review because I don’t want to jinx it… but since adding this journal to my anxious, terrible sleeper’s bedtime routine, he has not shouted at us every 5 minutes after being put to bed, woken me up at 3 a.m. to discuss ANYTHING, and has been going right to sleep… something that has NEVER happened consistently in 7 years. I’m shocked. I’m awed. I would absolutely buy this again and again and again as long as it keeps working.
The Big Life Journal - Daily Edition features activities based on the latest research on growth mindset, brain plasticity, positive psychology, and child development.

Here are the main themes included:
GROWTH MINDSET
Dr. Carol Dweck's research has proven children who develop a growth mindset are more equipped to face challenges. They embrace failures, are eager to try new things, and keep trying until they succeed.
RESILIENCE
Science shows children who express their emotions in a healthy and positive way are more resilient. Resilient children are braver, more curious, and more adaptable.
GRATITUDE
Children who show gratitude are happier, less impulsive, and have better relationships with others. Research shows daily gratitude practice can have a profound impact on your child’s physical and emotional health.
KINDNESS
Children who learn to be kind are happier and more successful. Teaching children kindness also reduces bullying, helps them improve friendships, and increases their well-being.
SELF-LOVE
Teaching children to love themselves helps build their self-esteem and creates the foundation for lifelong success and happiness.

How does the Big Life Journal - Daily Edition differ from the Big Life Journal — Original?
The Big Life Journal — Daily Edition is independent of the Big Life Journal — Original (either the 1st or the 2nd editions). It can be a great next step if your child already completed the original journals (although completing the original journals is not necessary before working on the Daily Edition).
The Daily Edition is designed to be completed by a child on their own every day (it’s totally okay to skip a day or more as the journal is NOT dated).
Is this journal dated?
It’s not dated.
How long will the journal last?
The journal will last three months if completed every day. When finished your child can get another Daily Edition and complete it again since the journal is not dated and it’s very important to keep the daily practice going.
What age range is this journal for?
We recommend this journal for ages 6-11. For older children, we recommend the Big Life Journal - Tween/Teen Edition.
