My 6 (nearly 7) year old son has been writing his journal for the past two months. We have noticed a real change in himself; he’s more chatty, more open, and most wonderfully of all, asking for hugs. This is the boy who was born independent, who is very loving but not remotely tactile and who declares his love on paper, not in person. I honestly believe the journal is connecting us and heightening his awareness of his feelings. Thank you.

My daughter, 9, loves this and so do I. She does hers every evening, we do it together, i copy the quote into my journal, do the 3 best things, answer the questions, draw the emojis... i want her to see that i believe it to be valuable and that we can do it together - a good way to connect and spend some time together before bedtime. It is helping her find a bit more positive perspective I hope. That it requires short and simple answers is definitely a strength. But it is deceptively thought provoking.

I bought the Happy Self Journal about 3 weeks ago. My 7 year old son is very shy and started getting more and more anxious. The journal is already having a profound impact. He is suddenly a lot more confident, his teacher noticed a big difference in him, participating and sharing his ideas in class. We love the illustrations, the inspirational quotes and the variety. This high quality book is beautifully designed with a soft moleskin cover. I think every child should have a Happy Self Journal.

This Journal is fantastic, I took for granted that my 8 year old daughter would be able to automatically see what was good each day, how wrong I was, i was shocked to see how hard she found it at first to pick her top 3 things for the day, even when we had spent the day having so much fun....as the days have gone on she is now beginning to write her top 3 things without me prompting her, I have always noticed my daughter is a worrier and a little anxious at times but did not realise how focused she could be in her mind on negatives, this Jornal has been such a positive tool and has opened up so many great conversations between myself and my daughter that we would not likely of had without filling out the journal. I highly recommend and so happy I purchased, so worth every pound when you have such positive outcomes 💖

I recently started this book with my 10 year old son and it is wonderful. He's not a worrier, doesn't have anxiety and is a very happy child so it would be easy to think he doesn't need a book like this. The reason I bought it though is that I want him to stay like that and try to prevent any chance of him suffering from mental health conditions in the future. I also really want him to develop a growth mindset and be a kind person (this is way more important to me than him being good at maths or science). So if you're wondering if this book is right for your child, it's right for EVERY child, regardless of how their mental wellbeing is. In fact, everyone should do one of these books...

Every child should have this book. It has had such a positive impact on my 8 year old in just 5 days. Even her 15 year old brother has commented on the change! She is more determined, doesn't cry when she fails and has looked for positives in everything. As a teacher for 10 years, I have seen so many children struggle with self belief and give up when faced with difficult problems ... I can honestly say, this lovely little book is brilliant.
