CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 174
Have you ever considered sharing a journal with your kids? Sometimes your child may come home and isn’t ready to share about your day. Journaling is an opportunity to see how your child views the world while you’re living the same moments. It can open up opportunities to be empathetic to situations that you weren’t experiencing in the same way. It can create a safe space for questions to be asked, that you weren’t aware that they were worrying about.
In this episode Katie and Janine discuss:
The powerful connection you can build through journaling
Why journaling can be helpful
How to set rules for a joint journal
How to start to journal together
How to spark a conversations away from a journal
How Katie likes to rest and relax
