The Creative Journal for Children A Guide for Parents, Teachers and Counselors

The seventy-two exercises for journal keeping in this book are simple and enjoyable ways for children from kindergarten through junior high to: express feelings and thoughts, feel comfortable about writing and drawing, acquire the habits of self-observation and reflection, foster a positive self-image, exercise imagination, learn to communicate, strengthen attention span and concentration, enrich academic skills, and find strength and wisdom within.

The Creative Journal Method is a tested technique that can be used easily at home or in the classroom. It will appeal not only to parents and teachers but also to professionals in the fields of health care, psychotherapy, and special education.
