Our Sharing Journal: Journal Notebook for Kids and Parents: Creative Communication Prompts for Building Stronger Relationships Between A Parent and Child

Connecting with our kids should be easy, right? We spend hours together under the same roof, but somehow, the art of having a meaningful conversation has been lost. We can blame it on all the tech gadgets and video games and tv shows we want, but the responsibility of connecting doesn't go away.

In a little as 5 minutes a day, author and mother of 6, M. Susan T. Whitehead has provided a simple and FUN journal for parents AND kids to enjoy. Designed for ages 6-14, this book includes fun questions like "If you could ask to never eat 2 foods ever again, which ones would you pick?" or "If you were a spy, what would be yourspy name and why?" There's also more serious questions like "When you’re feeling sad, what can I do to help you feel better?" and "What would you do if you saw someone steal something at a store?" Younger kids who can't write yet can still doodle on the pages or have a parent write out their answers.

Drawing from the seemingly endless questions the author's kids have asked through the years, this journal is sure to get you and your kids laughing, doodling (every page has space for drawing) and CONNECTING like never before. Will it change your family life forever? Possibly, but what it WILL do is allow you and your kids a fun way to interact beyond asking what they did in school and what they want for dinner. Making time to sit and talk about the questions answered by parent AND child (yes, mom or dad do have their own page to answer on) will make this simple book a treasured keepsake.

M. Susan T. Whitehead is a traveling gypsy at heart who is most "at home" experiencing new countries and cultures with her husband of 20 years, Michael, and their 6 children. She loves finding new traditions to incorporate into her family's schedule in an effort to bring a little bit of familiarity to her day, no matter what time zone she's in. Aside from traveling, Susan enjoys learning new things, watching comedy videos on YouTube and dark chocolate with almonds.
