My 7 year old daughter looks forward to filling out her GROW journal everyday. The daily conversation starters have given my daughter the confidence to open up which has given me invaluable insight into her world.

Positive psychology is huge at the moment, and for good reason. Enhanced well-being, happier, more sunshine-y souls. What's not to love? Enter the Grow Journal. I am in love with the latest addition to my tool kit. 

If you've got a doodler, a journal lover, a creative soul, a reflector, or someone in need of finding the sunshine in themselves, the Grow Journal is a great way of helping them create positive thought patterns and feeling good about themselves.

In the words of Miss. 8 who saw it on my desk and flicked through it, "IT HAS STIIIIIICKERS!!!"

My kids were lucky enough to receive the GROW Journal as a gift. They absolutely love it, so do I! The journal allows them to express themselves, and encourages them to think about their feelings. It definitely has helped boost their confidence, and we can do some great family activities as well.

I love how my son (7yrs) started the journal tentatively but after 1 week found it very easy and is now so good at thinking of what makes him happy, what he is grateful for and loves reading all the quotes. As a parent I can see he is more confident and happy in himself. He can express himself well and is showing more kindness and gratitude to others.Sid says he likes doing it and looking back to see what he has done.

I think you have totally nailed the journal. It’s giving my daughter a lot of peace and a safe outlet for her to express her emotions. Love it!

These Journals have an abundance of activities that build kindness, conversation starters, mindfulness activities and lots of opportunities to grow! We've had our kids ages ranging from 6-12 using them and all have really enjoyed them.

Candice, mum of three

When @thegrow.journal sent me their journal I was excited to flip through all the pages to see what was included and it did not disappoint. This journal is jampacked with guided activities for children to grow gratitude, resilience, optimism and well-being (GROW). I love that this is a full colour journal including words and graphics so that it is visually engaging for kids.

The beauty of it is they can pick and choose what they want to complete, there is no particular order! It is thick, so many opportunities to practice these skills. I would recommend for ages 8 and over.

Great resource for kids - Fantastic prompt for kids to reflect on their day and their feelings, and a way to start conversations about them. Also pretty special as a parent to read what they've written - with their permission of course.

This high quality journal might be a fabulous gift, and it may help in that sensitive window of early tweenhood. Well done Jess and Caroline…it’s beautiful and packed full of great messages to help grow positive minds, hearts and spirits.

Maggie Dent (mum of 4, parenting author, educator and speaker)

The key to raising a resilient child, is raising a child that's optimistic, and sees obstacles in life as things that can be overcome, not things that knock you back…so it’s such a gorgeous journal. I’ve given these to my nephews for their birthday.

Great Journal for kids - My daughter loves the Grow Journal and writing in it. I now buy the Grow Journal for all her friends and add it to their birthday presents.

A testimonial

A fantastic introduction to journalling - My daughter went from being prompted to write in her journal each day, to spending time with it completely of her own accord because she enjoyed it so much. She has gained a lot of insight from using the Grow Journal.
