Claire Jardin , your child may want to begin a journal, if he or she doesn't already keep one. A journal is a great way for kids to express their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or ridicule. Because journals are private, many kids relish the idea of having a safe place to write about anything and anyone in their life. Fiona gets her journal as a gift from John Robert, her therapist, but it doesn't take a crisis to begin a journal.
Some people keep journals throughout their lifetime.
That way, they have an ongoing record of their experiences. Some people doodle in their journals or use them to sketch new ideas and projects. The joy of keeping a journal comes from the complete lack of rules. The writer of each journal brings an individual approach to this most personal creation. Knowing that your journal will never be graded or judged gives the journal writer a tremendous sense of freedom.
