Thoughts, Feelings, Observations

Whenever you need a calm space to drop down feelings and ideas that jump into your mind the ‘Thoughts, Feelings, Observations’ section is an open space to help you find some clarity or open up your creativity depending on where the writing takes you.

Parenting Highs and Lows

Every day brings parenting highs and lows. It is important to reflect on both - to make a record of moments that brought our day a smile and also to acknowledge the things we might need to work on and through. Your day is made up of more than one feeling or event.

Kid Speak

Children bring us a different view. They often say things that make us laugh, surprise us, or give us a new insight into language or the world we live in. Kid Speak is my favourite section, a place for you to record all the quirky things your child says, asks or does.

I love this journal. The prompts are so helpful for drawing out what I want to process and remember from these days of parenting.

Love this journal and recommend it to everyone!

I absolutely love this journal. I bought a blank notebook when I had my first baby and to this day I haven't written in it as it felt really overwhelming. I bought this journal when I had baby 2 and it contains lovely prompts and I love that it is undated, so it doesn't ever feel like pressure to write in it. I try and write in mine for 5 minutes in the evenings and it's like a bit of therapy! It's nice to think back to my day and remember there are always good bits even if it was a challenging parenting day. Perfect that there is a space for funny things our child has said - I am sure I will look back on this and it will be really special to read about all of the little and big things (many of which get forgotten during daily parenting life) during this time in my life! I recommend this to every parent :)

How To Use The Parent Journal

Thoughts, Feelings, Observations

Whenever you need a calm space to drop down feelings and ideas that jump into your mind the ‘Thoughts, Feelings, Observations’ section is an open space to help you find some clarity or open up your creativity depending on where the writing takes you.

Parenting Highs and Lows

Every day brings parenting highs and lows. I think it is equally important to reflect on both - to make a record of moments that brought our day a smile and also to acknowledge the things we might need to work on and through. Your day is made up of more than one feeling or event. I’ve added a section that I hope will help you see the good alongside the hard that creates a balance to your day.

Kid Speak

Children bring us a different view of the world. They often say things that make us laugh, surprise us, or give us a new insight into language or the world we live in. Kid Speak is my favourite section, a place for you to record all the quirky things your child says, asks or does that you won’t want to forget no matter how old they get.

Daily Mantra

I have included a daily mantra throughout the journal. They are little nudges and reminders. Some may be useful to you, others less so. Take only what fits for you.

When should I use The Parent Journal

Whenever works best for you. This journal shouldn’t be an extra chore, take it as a moment of pleasure for you to pause, take stock and recharge.
