Which does your child have now?
A child with a FIXED mindset:

✖️
Gets frustrated easily and quits
A child with a GROWTH mindset:
✔️

Good news: a growth mindset is something kids can learn.
That's exactly what this journal teaches.

FAQ
What is Big Life Journal for Kids?
Big Life Journal for Kids is an illustrated, guided journal that helps children develop growth mindset and Social-Emotional Learning skills. Through inspiring stories, colorful illustrations, thoughtful questions, and engaging activities, children learn to believe in themselves, handle challenges, learn from mistakes, and keep going when something feels difficult.
What age is Big Life Journal best for?
Big Life Journal – 2nd Edition is recommended for children ages 7–10. Younger children can also enjoy it with more help from a parent or caregiver. For children ages 11 and older, we recommend the Big Life Journal – Tween/Teen Edition.
Is Big Life Journal a blank journal or a guided workbook?
Big Life Journal is a guided journal rather than a traditional blank diary. It includes stories, illustrations, questions, drawing activities, and writing prompts that help children explore important life skills.
Children still have space to express their own ideas, but the journal provides structure and guidance instead of completely blank pages.

What skills will my child learn?
Big Life Journal helps children practice skills such as:
Believing in themselves and recognizing their strengths
Facing new or difficult situations with confidence
Understanding that mistakes are part of learning
Replacing “I can’t” with more helpful thinking
Persevering when progress feels slow
Expressing their thoughts and feelings
Reflecting on their choices and experiences
The goal is not perfection. It is helping children develop language and habits they can use when everyday challenges arise.
Does a parent need to complete the journal with their child?
Children can work through the journal independently, but many families enjoy using it together.
A parent, caregiver, or “Journal Buddy” can read the stories, ask follow-up questions, share personal experiences, or write down answers for a child. Reviews frequently mention that these conversations became one of the most valuable parts of using the journal.
What if my child does not enjoy writing?
Your child does not need to be an enthusiastic writer to benefit from the journal.
They can draw their answers, respond verbally while an adult writes, complete one small prompt at a time, or simply use the stories as conversation starters. The focus should be on your child’s ideas—not handwriting, spelling, or completing every activity perfectly.
Does Big Life Journal include a podcast?
The Big Life Kids Podcast is a free companion to the second edition of the journal.
Children can listen to related stories and lessons while working through the journal, creating a more engaging experience through listening, reading, discussion, drawing, and writing. The podcast is available through major podcast platforms.
What is the difference between the first and second editions?
The second edition is a completely new journal. It includes different stories, quotes, illustrations, and writing prompts.
Children do not need to complete the first edition before beginning the second edition. The second edition is generally recommended because it connects with episodes of the Big Life Kids Podcast.
