Daily Prayer & Gratitude Journal For Children

Absolute must-have!

This is a lovely resource for introducing children to journaling. I especially appreciate how the beginning is designed to spark excitement—it’s engaging, effective, and genuinely fun, which makes the habit feel inviting rather than forced. One small feature I found myself wishing for (similar to the adult version) is a space at the top of each page for children to circle the day of the week and write the date. We homeschool and have been using this journal lightly as a loose planner as well, and having a place for the date would help us to both plan ahead and also look back and see which days were school days, field trips, or lighter-rhythm days. That said, this is a minor wish and doesn’t take away from how wonderful the journal is overall. I would absolutely recommend this to any parent—especially when paired with the adult version. When my son sees me journaling, it encourages him even more, and doing it together has become such a sweet, grounding rhythm for us. He gets to see me practicing what I’m encouraging him to do, which gives the habit more meaning and weight. Adding a space for the day and date would also open the door to something really special years from now—being able to cross-reference my journal with my son’s someday feels like it could be a meaningful and fun experience for both of us. Most of all, this journal has opened the door to thoughtful conversations and given me a rare glimpse into my child’s inner world. That alone has made it incredibly special to our family.
