Even Mermaids have Blah Days: A Feelings Journal for Kids with Writing & Drawing Prompts

Helping kids identify and express feelings. Research shows that acknowledging feelings and practising behaviours such as gratitude, mindfulness and positivity can be beneficial in managing anxiety and promoting well-being. However, identifying feelings doesn’t always come easily and children who experience anxiety or conditions such as ADHD and Aspergers can find it even more challenging. This fun and simple-to-use journal will teach children and tweens to express and understand their feelings in a creative way through writing and drawing. It can also be used as a grief journal to help kids express feelings about loss while encouraging them to seek out positives in their day. For each day, there’s a repeating two-page spread including: A section to note down three emotions felt that day. A space to draw how you felt on the mermaid’s face. A section to note if you felt sad, frustrated or anxious. A section to list the three top things about the day. A section to express gratitude, an excellent habit to form at an early age to encourage positivity. This book has ten additional spreads incorporating space to draw and different creative writing prompts such as “What do you think happiness means?” and “If you were granted three wishes, what would they be?” As a bonus, the mermaid-themed illustrations throughout this journal are suitable for coloring, an activity that has been proven to have relaxing effects on adults and children alike.
