The Daily Doodle: A Journal for Children Ages 7-10

By Janet Mentore Lee

As parents, we need strategies that will help us promote open communication with our children. We want them to feel reassured, validated, and supported. This is the second book in the "Daily Doodle" series, and it is designed to introduce children aged 7-10 to journaling. On each page is a writing or drawing/doodling prompt that will help your child express his or her inner thoughts, feelings, and coping skills. Sample prompts include "If I had a magic wand I would wish for ...", "I feel the most pressure when...," and so on. You are encouraged to collaborate with your child in the journal writing process. By doing so, you are engaging in "3C Journaling": you are collaborating, creating, and connecting with your child, which are vital components to any parent-child relationship.This book addresses issues common to children in the 7 to 10 age group. For example, concepts such as friendships and school experiences are emphasized in this edition, and kids are given more prompts to complete that explore these issues. The book's style and illustrations are also designed to appeal to this age group. As children grow, it becomes increasingly important to use a communication tool like the Daily Doodle as a non-threatening way to get a glimpse into what your child is experiencing. Have fun and enjoy this journey with your child!
