My son has kept and maintained a gratitude journal for over 3 years now and I know it has been therapeutic for him and a really wonderful tool for us together as it encourages discussion and creativity. In the beginning we would sit down and come up with journal topics together! I love the idea of buying a book with prompts and activities for him to follow along with. As he enters his teen years I have found that books is definitely our common bond. This isn’t a gratitude journal book, but it is a gratitude guide that we recently finished called – Mentors and Tormentors, on the Journey to Self-Respect by Tim Jones. It is an amazing story about a teenager (Wendall) who is your typical teen who can’t seem to focus on the positives in life and had a whole lot to learn about the “real world.” It’s a self-help book that doesn’t feel preachy and it’s certainly not boring. My son finished it in a weekend and even wrote down some of the lessons in his journal. Wendall comes across a variety of characters that teach him about bullying, standing up for yourself, friendship, gratitude, depression, manipulation and more. I think this is a great book to pair with a gratitude journal!
