We introduced The Mindful Explorer to a group of children in our after-school club and it became an instant hit. They love checking in with their mood and drawing their adventures from the playground.

This journal has helped my son express himself in ways he never managed before. He gets overwhelmed easily, and having a safe place to draw and write out his day has made a huge difference.

Journaling supports emotional wellness and helps manage stress in youth
Journaling is often recommended as a tool for children and adolescents to gain control over difficult emotions, improve mood, and cope with stress.
Studies with children aged 7–11 who learned slow, calm breathing exercises that stimulate the vagus nerve, showed clear improvements in how well they could manage stress and regulate their emotions
The journal is designed for children aged 6–10, but many older kids (and even parents!) find the activities enjoyable and beneficial.

Each copy is finished with a durable, high-quality matte cover that protects the pages while giving a soft, premium feel in children’s hands.

How does the journal help children?
It encourages calm, focus, gratitude, and creativity through fun prompts, exercises, and space to reflect or doodle.
Do children need to write every day?
Not at all. The journal is flexible, kids can use it daily, weekly, or whenever they need a mindful moment.

How many times can the journal be used?
The Mindful Explorer journal is designed for one part of a child’s ongoing mindful journey. Once the pages are filled, many families find that the exercises have become part of their child’s daily routine and healthy habits. To continue supporting your child’s growth as they move through different stages of life, repeat orders can be made — giving them a fresh journal to explore, reflect, and grow with.
Is the journal suitable for children under 6 or over 10?
Yes. Children outside the 6–10 range can still benefit, but they may use it differently. Younger children (under 6) may need more guidance from an adult to help with reading prompts or completing activities. Older children (over 10) can use the journal independently and often enjoy reflecting at a deeper level. The core practices, breathing, gratitude, and simple emotional check-ins, are helpful across a wide age range.
