Customer Reviews
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!
Love!
I just bought these and HOLY COW they are amazing. I ordered them on March 24th and it's only been four days since (I got them in the mail YESTERDAY, and I live in Alaska!). They shipped super fast. I wish I could give every single child and their parent at least one of these books. I ordered two of the Daily Edition journals (one for my 7-year-old and another for my 10-year-old). And I grabbed the second edition of Big Life Journal For Kids. I am so so so glad that I bought these. They are so motivational and even my kids who don't like to write are writing in them!!
My kids like writing in their journals that I purchased from your company and has helped them become more grateful and not to give up.
Both journals feature 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 the Daily Edition journal dated?
It’s not dated.
How long will the Daily Edition 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 are the journals recommended for?
We recommend these journals for ages 5-11. For older children, we recommend the Big Life Journal - Tween/Teen Edition.
