Why Do Kids Benefit from Journaling? 

Daily journaling for kids is a fantastic tool to help them deal with big emotions. Outside of this, setting a routine of daily mindfulness journaling can help children with communication and writing skills as well! By using a mindfulness journaling template, children become confident with what the questions are asking them, over time, and this can really benefit their learning on a daily basis. It can also help teachers understand how their children are feeling and shift their lessons based on the overall emotional state of a group of children.
