The first set of the journal series consists of a
version for young daughters, and a version for young
sons both between the ages of 7 and 12. These books
are designed to help prevent mom from feeling as
though she has missed out on the details that
surrounded her child’s day. The journal encourages
children to keep mom informed -with a
side benefit
of enhancing their writing abilities- and mom is
allowed to write comments for her children to read
as well. This series was created with working and/or
single moms in mind because they must constantly
balance family responsibilities with unavoidable
late nights at the office, or maybe evening classes
or just everyday hectic schedules.
The
teen-age edition extends my concept by helping to
ensure that the lines of communication remain open,
between parent and child, during the presumably
difficult adolescence stage. Mom is also allowed to
write in this journal, however, the tone of the book
encourages her to do so in a non-judgmental fashion. The idea behind these books is to help parents who
experience strained relationships with their teens
and are seeking new ways to communicate. Parents who
want to prevent tension before it actually occurs
may also use this journal.
It is my personal belief, that in order for any
relationship to flourish one must put God first,
with that in mind, please note this collection’s
entire purpose is to help strengthen the
parent-child bond through sharing and communication.
