You want journaling to be something she is excited about. It shouldn't come across as a chore or an unwanted task. Journaling can be started at any age. Encourage younger children to draw pictures and write words about his their days. School-age children can begin with a sentence and a picture. By getting children started at a younger age, it's more likely to become second nature. Make journaling part of your nightly ritual. Journal along with your children to set the "write" example. By journaling yourself, you are setting a good example. Journaling is also a great way for children to let out their feelings. If they're angry, frustrated or sad, writing down their emotions will help ease the pain. It's therapeutic.
