Journaling as a family encourages self-reflection and gratitude, helping everyone appreciate the positives in their lives and process challenges together.
How to Start
- Individual journals: Provide each family member with a notebook for daily or weekly reflections.
- Gratitude sharing: Set aside time for everyone to write down something they're grateful for, then share entries aloud once a week.
- Themed prompts: Use themes like "What made you smile today?" or "A challenge I overcame this week" to guide reflections.
Benefits
- Fosters a positive family atmosphere.
- Builds emotional intelligence.
- Encourages open sharing of feelings and experiences.
