Parent Reviews
"This journal came when I was at a loss as a parent and loved that my son and I could strengthen our relationship and connect in a difficult season. Being able to hear how he was feeling and taking the time to process it before responding has been such a positive experience. Thank you!"
- Mom of 9 y/o boy
"My husband and I both write to our daughter in the journal, which has been super fun for all of us. It's been a great way to connect!"
- Mom of 8 y/o girl
"I learned he thinks I'm mean when I am trying to help him be accountable for his behavior and that so much of how he behaves he truly feels bad about after -which was huge! I also learned there is so much he wants to talk about and tell me, but either he isn't comfortable, or I am not giving him the time he needs. As we improve this area, the journal has been a great addition to our relationship."
- Mom of 10 y/o boy.
"I learned about fears/struggles my child had that I might not have learned otherwise. The journal provided a safe communication space different from normal conversations, especially when one-on-one time doesn't happen as often as I'd like."
- Mom of 9 y/o girls.
