How can I help my teenager to keep a journal?
Self-exploration journaling for teens
Teenagers have so much to deal with – changing hormones, issues at school, social issues – that a journal or diary may be a good place to sort through it all. Give the teenager in your life a journal or diary and encourage them to write or sketch. If you use a journal, let them see you take the time to write. Explain why you do and how it makes you feel. Suggest some ways to get started. Begin by asking them to write or sketch one of their favorite memories or share something they remember about a family member. Try to encourage them to remember the details as well as feelings of happiness. Or share something you wrote about a difficult time in your life, so that they can see how to work through a problem. When you share the ways in which you deal with things in your life, you help them to learn how to sort through the exciting, sad, confusing, wonderful things that are happening to them. By sharing how to take time to write or sketch, you are teaching them how to take time to take care of themselves.
Personal Teen Journal
With the demands of school, after school activities, chores, family and social functions, teenagers can easily lose sight of themselves. An interactive personal journal allows teens to write about where they are in life right now. They can paste their picture in it and write about family and friends. They can decorate the pages with stickers and draw whatever they imagine. While this journal invites teens to have fun, it also asks them to think about their future. What are their goals? How will they work to accomplish them? Where do they see themselves in five years, ten years? Try giving them a journal that is strictly for and about them.
