This review is from: Journal Buddies: A Boy's Journal for Discovering and Sharing Excellence (Paperback)

This is a must have book for any child. It's an outstanding way to promote their confidence and self esteem and encourage a love of writing.

My son has very low self esteem and no confidence in himself. After using Journal Buddies for a few weeks he's really started to feel better about himself and his abilities.

This review is from: Journal Buddies: A Boy's Journal for Discovering and Sharing Excellence (Paperback)

"Journal Buddies" is a wonderful resource for parents or other significant people in a child's life. My 7 year old son loves learning about himself in this simple writing activity that he shares with me and other people he cares about. My 9 year old daughter also jumped at the chance to write in this book. This journal is unique in that the writer's buddy shares his or her ideas also in the journal. From the activity the child learns who he or she is from other people's point of view and builds a positive image of who the child can be. One book is designed just for girls and another is designed just for boys. This very creative journal was well received by my children. Journal Buddies is one of my best discoveries as a mom.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun journal for boys with a positive approach!, August 28, 2009

This review is from: Journal Buddies: A Boy's Journal for Discovering and Sharing Excellence (Paperback)

This is the perfect type of journal to appeal to boys who aren't often encouraged to share "feelings" and "emotions" as it may not be considered "cool". This journal is unique as it is designed to be interactive and promotes creative journaling and it is fun. I like the buddy concept and that the child's buddy can be a friend or parent or anyone that they choose. Their buddy can be someone different every day if they would like. It's also a fun way to communicate with your child and promote their positive traits. This journal focuses on finding and celebrating the positive, there is even a rule that criticisms and put-downs are not allowed. My son and I have started the journal and in his words, he "loves it"! He has said that it is a lot of fun. I like sitting down with him as his chosen buddy and talking about positive traits and qualities and see his eyes light up as he figures out what he wants to journal and create on his pages. He will definitely treasure this journal and it will be a wonderful keepsake to look back upon as well.
