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.

FAQs

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 this journal dated?

It’s not dated.

How long will the 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 is this journal for?

We recommend this journal for ages 6-11. For older children, we recommend the Big Life Journal - Tween/Teen Edition.
