Tools for the Moments When They Need Them

Scared of failing? Stuck choosing between options? Unsure how to solve a problem? Learning to understand and regulate emotions? Just turn to the back of the book to access child-oriented tools for these challenges and more…you’ll probably use them as much as your child does.

How BE Journaling™️ Works

1. Journal Together

Journal back & forth, respond to prompts, ask/answer questions, express curiosity, show affection, instill confidence, & capture memories. Journaling together creates a world of shared narratives, where each page is a bridge of understanding, space for psychological safety, & source of inside jokes.

2. Adventure Together

Create more positive shared moments. BE ALIVE™️ eliminates the stress of always trying to measure up, replacing the pressure to be “SMART” about everything with the confidence to break out of routines and be adaptable, learning-focused, inventive, vibrant, and exploratory together.

3. Grow Together

Build rituals of Belonging & Empowerment, that serve as a secure relational foundation. The kind of foundation that encourages bold authenticity & brave discovery of why your uniqueness matters. Learn the tools & skills to build secure foundations & navigate all the wonder of life.

What Parents & Kids Are Saying

Thought this might be like a lot of other ideas, where I would have to convince my daughter to do it but she loves it! She is always putting it on my bed and asking me when I'm going to write back to her.

Tracy

I like that the challenges are doable and can be adapted, it's made it so we can retry them a little different.

Lynnette

I worry that I'm not giving enough as a parent, these journals have helped so much! At the end of a busy day I can write a message I know will matter to them.

Why BE Journaling™️ Works

+ Expand each one to learn more +

Every BE Journaling™️ product is evidence-based, meaning they are built on valid and reliable peer-reviewed research in fields like educational, social, and developmental psychology. Here are examples:

Journaling Preserves & Improves Marital Quality: A team of researchers from Northwestern, Villanova, Redeemer, and Stanford investigated a journaling intervention on the decline of marital quality. They found that a single writing task involving three prompts about a recent conflict and periodic reminders, eliminated marital quality decline for those in the treatment condition (Finkel et al., 2013).

Adaptable Goals are Better for Well-being and Stress Management: Flexible Goal Adjustment is the ability to adapt goals and approaches in response to changing situations or conditions and has been studied in-depth. This approach to goal pursuit is associated with higher well-being, motivation, optimism, and resilience throughout the lifespan (Hanssen et al., 2015; Bailly et al., 2014).

Rituals Promote Relational Cohesion and Individual Emotional Health: Barbara H. Fiese and colleagues at Syracuse University reviewed 50 years of research on family rituals, finding that rituals were related to positive parenting competence, healthy child adjustment, and marital satisfaction (Fiese et al., 2002).

  • Bailly, N., Gana, K., Hervé, C., Joulain, M., & Alaphilippe, D., (2014) Does flexible goal adjustment predict life satisfaction in older adults? A six-year longitudinal study, Aging & Mental Health, 18:5, 662-670, DOI: 10.1080/13607863.2013.875121
  • Fiese, B. H., Tomcho, T. J., Douglas, M., Josephs, K., Poltrock, S., & Baker, T. (2002). A review of 50 years of research on naturally occurring family routines and rituals: Cause for celebration? Journal of Family Psychology, 16(4), 381–390. https://doi.org/10.1037/0893-3200.16.4.381
  • Finkel, E. J., Slotter, E. B., Luchies, L. B., Walton, G. M., & Gross, J. J. (2013). A brief intervention to promote conflict reappraisal preserves marital quality over time. Psychological Science, 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1177/09567976122474938
  • Hanssen, M.M., Vancleef, L.M.G., Vlaeyen, J.W.S. et al., (2015). Optimism, Motivational Coping and Well-being: Evidence Supporting the Importance of Flexible Goal Adjustment. J Happiness Stud 16, 1525–1537 (2015). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10902-014-9572-x

BE Journaling™️ is built on the principle of adaptive scaffolding, which is an approach for adjusting support and guidance according to the needs and capabilities of individuals. Here is how…

  • Start with ease and simplicity: BE Journaling™️ can be practiced right now, by anyone, to foster Belonging & Empowerment.
  • There when you need it: BE Journaling™️ provides structure when you need it but won't burden you with it when you don't.
  • Promotes growth and connection: BE Journaling™️ cultivates the experiences, skills, and resources for profound growth.

While BE Journaling leans heavily on research, it wasn’t created in a sterile lab. It was created and battle tested in your kitchens, playgrounds, bedrooms, and classrooms. Every tool is something we have tested in our own messy and chaotic world of relationships and growth. But more than that, it’s something that you bring uniqueness to and make your own. And, we love nothing more than when you share that with us, so that we can continue to improve our products.

    We haven’t used it as much as I thought we would but the first time my son wrote me back he shared something I had no clue he was thinking about and that alone was worth what we paid.

    Really changed our family time, if you’re like me and spend more time trying to come up with things to do than actually doing them.
