My first diary: a great introduction to keeping a diary and journaling, diary for kids 6-8 year old (My first diary series)

“A diary is a wonderful and thoughtful gift for any child.”

Keeping a diary helps positively shape your child’s personality. A journal or diary is one of the best gifts you can give your child. Young kids may have trouble expressing their emotions and remembering all the things they’ve done. Keeping a diary gives them a safe way to release emotions and stress and to record their experiences. Writing about their daily activities and accomplishments can also help increase self esteem.

Of course we can’t expect young children to write whole novels. That’s why ‘My first diary’ has space to both write and draw. The lines are far enough apart for a child’s bold handwriting and the layout is more appealing than a regular notebook. Since writing on the left size of a page is generally harder, only the right pages of this diary are used for writing. The empty left page can be used for additional drawings or to glue collected treasures such as museum entry tickets, stickers, notes from friends, postcards or other fun stuff.

Keeping a diary is a great way to for kids to:

• Help express emotions in a safe way
• Record memories & life events
• Encourage reflection and engagement
• Help them organize their thoughts and ideas
• Improve a child’s hand writing

A young child’s diary may simply consist of a drawing and a few words to describe each day. But it will still help them process the day and their emotions, as well as organize their thoughts. And as they get older, the routine of keeping a diary or journalling will help your child tremendously. So diary keeping is a great habit to cultivate.
