Love this journal

I have been my daughter’s journal buddy for a few weeks now and we absolutely love it. My daughter looks forward to doing it and truly enjoys it. We love the simple activities yet there’s meaningful and thought provoking questions for great conversation. I really feel like my daughter is gaining confidence in herself and it is helping her navigate some of those big feelings. We absolutely love this journal!

Awesome journal

Purchased the journal for my 10 yo granddaughter. She absolutely loves it. It helps her sort out her feelings in a safe manner. It allows her to explore her thoughts without exposing her secrets to others. In the past she has felt betrayed by a therapist. This is a great stepping stone for her. Thank you for this tool.

The Big Life Kids Podcast accompanies the journal

 

Your child will be able to listen to the complementary episodes of the podcast as they are going through their Big Life Journal. This creates a powerful multi-sensory experience which allows them to absorb information faster and more effectively.

Only the highest quality materials

With plenty of room to draw and write on each page, the Big Life Journal lets children work at their own pace as they reflect, learn and grow.

This beautiful guided journal is made for little hands to use and durable enough to last as a keepsake for children as they grow older.

  • Bright, sturdy hardcover

  • 176 pages of high-quality paper

  • Lays flat when opened for easy drawing and writing

  • Sewn-in satin ribbon bookmark

 

...and it lays flat! 

Our well-constructed journals need to be “worked open” to take advantage of the lay-flat feature. Do this to make sure your journal lays nicely flat.    

 

 

 

How is the Big Life Journal - 2nd Edition different from the 1st edition?

It is a completely new journal! The stories, quotes, illustrations, and writing prompts are all different. We recommend the 2nd edition as it goes with the Big Life Kids podcast. 

Do you need to go through the 1st edition first?  

No, your child can start with the 2nd Edition right away. 

What ages is this journal good for?  

We recommend ages 7-10. 

How do we listen to the podcast?
