As a mom with kids aged 3-12, I often felt overwhelmed by the constant talk in the media about children growing up stressed and facing more mental health challenges than ever before. I noticed that many kids, including my own, didn't fully grasp the importance of gratitude and mindfulness—two things I knew could make a big difference in their lives.
The Start Of The Solution
As a woman entrepreneur, I began to see an interesting trend: people were returning to basics. Instead of relying on apps, they were using pen and paper for planning, choosing to write gratitude journals instead of posting on social media, and practicing mindfulness over spending more time online. This shift really stood out to me because, like many of my clients, I was also working on building better habits for a happier, more balanced life. At home, we made small but meaningful changes. We reduced screen time, started daily journaling, and practiced mindfulness together. These simple changes had a big impact on our well-being. We even began having ‘switch-off weekends’ and sharing our ‘top three things’ at the dinner table. My daughter watched me journaling every day and soon began doing it herself.
Researching The Issues
When I searched for a journal that could help my kids build these healthy habits, I couldn't find anything that felt just right. So, I decided to create one myself. I dived into research, completed a course at Montessori, and consulted with child psychology and education experts. I also spoke with other parents and teachers and learned how schools were teaching the concept of a growth mindset.
