Journal Prompt Thursdays

Today's journal prompt:

If you have children, do this with them.  Help your children to start a journal.  Even if they don't know how to write yet, have them draw pictures of what they did that day in their journal.  Also, for you, write down about why you think journals are so important and the feelings you have while teaching your children about journaling.

If you don't have children, still write down why you think journals are so important and what you would teach to your children in the future about journaling.  No matter if you have children or not, journal writing will always be an important thing down the line of your family.

Have a beautiful day.

About the journaling with kids who can't write yet, I did that with my oldest 3. They would draw a picture and I would label it and write a description of what happened or how they felt in their own words. They still love journal writing, and do it all on their own. So I know it can be a great experience, even if it' just once in a while.
