WHY it WORKS

Emotional Intelligence

It is crucial to foster emotional intelligence in children because it aids them in navigating relationships, coping with conflicts, and communicating. By utilizing My Big Emotions Journal, children can cultivate emotional intelligence from an early age.

1

Growth Mindset

My Big Emotions Journal helps children develop a growth mindset by cultivating a love of learning and seeking out challenges, embracing mistakes and setbacks as opportunities for growth, and focusing on the process rather than just the outcome.

2

Mindfulness

Research has shown the tremendous benefits of mindfulness for children. This is why some schools are choosing to adopt mindfulness programs. It has been proven that schools which teach mindfulness skills report fewer discipline problems and better engagement from students. Furthermore, practicing mindfulness is linked with improved focus, decreased stress, emotional regulation, and increased compassion. My Big Emotions Journal provides step by step deep breathing and grounding exercises that teach children the fundamentals of mindfulness. Children take a break from activities, overwhelming thoughts and emotions by giving themselves a time out period to relax and disengage.

3

Positive Self-talk

Positive affirmations are acts of self love and kindness towards one's self that build self-esteem and self-belief, which are essential in establishing identity. It is important that children learn to have a positive outlook on themselves and on life in general. When a child is empowered to create feelings of self-worth through positive thinking, they own this, making it much harder for people to tear them down. "My Affirmation Space" in My Big Emotions Journal encourages children to pick from the 100 positive affirmations included and speak them out loud to challenge mind bullies.

4

Gratitude

The practice of gratitude is at the core of My Big Emotions Journal. Research has shown that gratitude allows us to be present and open to notice important gifts even when faced with deep challenges. Our daily pages prompt children to take a few moments in their day to reflect on, recognise, acknowledge and appreciate people, things and situations in their lives.

5

Journalling

Writing in My Big Emotions Journal offers an excellent outlet for children who have yet to learn how to process their feelings and manage their emotions by providing an opportunity for more objective reflection and better management of big feelings.
