What's Inside?

We’ve had so many requests for a younger edition of our much-loved HappyMe Journal that we’ve created this My First HappyMe Journal for you to enjoy with the three- to six-year old in your life. It brings you all the goodness of our Junior edition adapted to this younger age group.

1

A daily quote or thought to help with a positive mindset

2

Build self-awareness. Circle and color in the character that best reflects your feelings

3

Practice gratitude by sharing the good things in your day

4

Checklists, challenges and questions support positive habits, mindset and behavior

It's specially designed to be a shared experience, and there are lots of prompts along the way to help spark lovely conversations as you fill out the pages. We have deliberately left things flexible so you can make the journal your own, with plenty of space for a shared writing, drawing and coloring experience.

There is no better time than these early years to lay the foundations for happiness by exploring the positive habits that will help your child for years to come.

Our journals bring positive psychology and proven happiness habits into a beautifully illustrated child friendly journal format. Beautifully illustrated and easy to use, with just a few minutes each day, children benefit by being encouraged to express gratitude, reflect on their emotions and think about their actions.

  • High quality paper is pencil, pen and crayon friendly
  • Larger format than our Junior edition with plenty of space for this age group
  • The journal has a soft lie-flat binding to make it easy to write in
  • Designed to be a shared experience so you can share the experience with your child
  • Tested on children aged 3 to 6 to make sure the design and contents work across the age group
  • Elastic strap and ribbon to keep your journal private and mark your page
  • Undated so it doesn’t matter if you skip a day. Start whenever you want and use daily or whatever pattern suits you
  • 3 months of daily journaling pages as well as a section of fun pages to fill out anytime

“I hope this journal becomes a beautiful way of exploring feelings, memories, kindness and gratitude as well as capturing what life is like for you and your child at this moment in time.”

With love from my family to yours
Francesca Geens, Creator The HappyMe Journal

Ordered the first journal for my 3 year old son and it’s a really good conversation starter before bed about how his day has been. I never thought about asking about his feelings as thought he was too young but I was wrong as when we fill in each section, he has so much to say! It’s so important to have an open dialogue about feelings from any age. Would recommend.

I bought My First Journal for my 4 year old son and he loves it! We complete it at bedtime each night, and it’s a great conversation starter for him to talk about his day, how he’s feeling and what he’s proud of. For me this is setting the foundation for him to feel comfortable talking about his emotions and my hope is that as he grows, and those emotions get more complex, he has the outlet and language to talk to us openly about them.

Thank you so much for the younger version of the HMJ. I bought My First Journal for my little girl who is 4. She has been telling me all about her day all of a sudden, and we have been working on naming feelings. She LOVES filling in the journal and coloring it in. Amazing product!
