Why Keep a Journal?

Today talk to your little darlings about keeping a journal. It can include words, pictures, stories, whatever! The thing is, journals are great tools for students!

Here are my favorite things about journals:

• They make great historical documents for the family!
• They are an excellent way to express oneself!
• Journals help purge some of the many thoughts in our heads!
• Journals are a great way to save ideas for... anything!
• They inspire creativity!
• They get your little darlings writing!

While you are encouraging your little darlings to write in a journal, pick up a notebook and start one yourself (if you haven't already)! Make writing in a journal a daily habit. It can be a quick exercise or a long one - you choose!

And by all means, let your little darlings fall in love with writing!
