Connecting with Kids Through Journaling with Katie Clemons


Listen Later

Have you ever considered sharing a journal with your kids? Sometimes your child may come home and isn’t ready to share about your day. Journaling is an opportunity to see how your child views the world while you’re living the same moments. It can open up opportunities to be empathetic to situations that you weren’t experiencing in the same way. It can create a safe space for questions to be asked, that you weren’t aware that they were worrying about. 


In this episode Katie and Janine discuss:

The powerful connection you can build through journaling

Why journaling can be helpful 

How to set rules for a joint journal

How to start to journal together

How to spark a conversations away from a journal 

How Katie likes to rest and relax


And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!
