The tween years of 9-12 are incredibly important for a girl’s social and emotional development, including the development of her self-confidence, emotional resilience and empathy towards others. Guided journals with questions that encourage her to focus on the positive and encourage gratitude and empathy will help her develop a strong foundation for the rest of her life.
Journaling has proven emotional and physical health benefits to both kids and adults, including being able to:
- Process feelings and emotions
- Self discovery
- Improve writing skills
- Communicate their ideas
- Stimulate creativity
- Lower stress
- Improve relationships, particularly if you journal together with your tween!
Here are our picks for 8 of the best guided journals out there today for tween girls. Pick one or pick several to try throughout the year! And with some colorful pens and maybe some stickers, journaling can be even more fun! I would personally love these new Erin Condren x Hello Kitty pens!
