It sounds as though Journal Buddies for boys is perfect for your precious son. I hope you get a copy for him. Recently I had a mom tell me that her and her son regained a powerful and potent relationship from their shared journaling experiences. They even made a game of it by hiding the journal in fun places for the other to find (i.e. mom put the journal in the son's underwear drawer; the son placed the book by the coffee pot). Fun, creativity, connection and expression... these are just some of the fabulous benefits of this style of journal keeping. :) I would LOVE to hear about your experiences, so please, please, please email me!! Most sincerely, Jill Author & Creator of "Journal Buddies" Hi Darcy!

Writing is not one of our 8 yo sons favorite thing to do! He's in 2nd grade. He can write, his penmanship is great, and he reads well. However, is written expression and vocabulary is something that needs to be nurtured... in a creative way. This looks like something that could be a fun summer project to build his confidence in writing. Thank you!! If you can think of other ideas... we are open to hear them! :o) Kindly, Darcy This is so encouraging! Writing is not one of our 8 yo sons favorite thing to do! He’s in 2nd grade.

I think the point that stands out to me most is the validating and appreciative aspect of kids being encouraged to write what's on their minds, even putting it out there on a blog for the world to benefit from. This can truly boost their self-esteem, helping them to see the value of their point of view. I love that. I have chosen your post, Kids Creative Writing Ideas, for the #JournalChat Pick of the Day on 1/18/12 for all things journaling on Twitter. I will post a link on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, my blog and website Refresh with Dawn Herring, and in Refresh Journal, my weekly e-journal: http://www.refreshwithdawnherring.blogspot.com/.
