Customer Reviews
My son loves doing this every night befire bed and hes showing a lot of improvement
I am the Director of a Kids Hope USA mentoring program in Chattanooga, TN. KHUSA focuses on improving children's reading skills and their social and emotional development. Our program sends mentors to inner city children that the school considers the most "at risk", or whose parents/guardians specifically request that their child have a mentor.
The Big Life Journals (any of them!) have given our mentors a wonderful tool to guide their little mentees in understanding how even their "failures" can be part of eventual successes, how to deal with negative emotions, why they should be persistent in pursuing their goals, and so much more.
Some mentors have expressed relief that, instead of them having to figure out how to help their mentees learn these things, it's already done in such an enjoyable format for them. I made a kit that included the BLJ, colored pencils and a little pencil sharpener, a couple of stickers, and a string backpack, putting each child's name on the backpack. The mentor is in charge of keeping the backpack and contents safe. The goal is that once the child and mentor complete the journal, the child gets to keep the backpack and everything in it. It's been a HUGE motivator for the children to work with the mentors on the journal.
I highly recommend the Big Life Journals for kids!
Hi Cheri! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and kind words about Big Life Journal! We're truly honored to hear how our journals are helping your mentors and the amazing children in your Kids Hope USA program.
Your creative kit idea, complete with personalized backpacks, is incredibly inspiring, and we love how it’s motivating the kids to engage and grow alongside their mentors. Stories like yours are exactly why we do what we do.
Thank you for making such a meaningful difference in your community and for letting Big Life Journal be a part of it!
I have bought 5 different card packs, a journal, dream cards and a calendar. I just love this company. Youre investing essentially, whether helping with digficult conversations, reinforcing positive mindsets...they have it covered. And if that wasnt good enough, any issues and theyre onto it. Resolved quickly because they care. Cannot rate highly enough.
Thanks a lot for the review on our Big Life Journal - 2nd edition, Nicola! We are thrilled to hear that you have purchased multiple items from us and have had a positive experience with our customer service team. We appreciate your support and cannot thank you enough for your high rating. Have a wonderful day!
This Life Jjournal for Kids is not just for kids! It is a fantastic parent tool to use to connect deeper with your child and help them discover themselves and what matters to them. The bonus is your child also gets to know you as a person if you choose to be the "buddy sharing". This all happens in the course of 10 -20 minutes...oh...and you will have lots of fun!!
Gave to my three grandchildren and they use them a lot. My kids are loving the conversations they have with them. The ‘cousins’ talk to one another about their answers - couldn’t be more pleased.
Thank you for your kind review. We're so glad to hear that your grandchildren are enjoying the Big Life Journal and that it's sparking meaningful conversations with their cousins. We hope it continues to bring joy and growth to your family!
