THE CREATIVE JOURNAL FOR CHILDREN
A Guide for Parents, Teachers and Counselors

72 drawing and writing exercises foster creativity, self-esteem and learning skills in children (5 to 15). Raised test scores in school research.

"Since grades and criticism are not part of her journal method, children can relax and enjoy using this journal as a vehicle for self-exploration and expression."
-Gerald G. Jampolsky, psychiatrist and author of Love is Letting Go of Fear.

Research shows that children's self-esteem and communication skills improve dramatically with Dr. Capacchione's Creative Journal Method. This practical guide for adults working with children from ages 5 to 15 is both a therapeutic and educational tool. Recommended for use at home, in school or in counseling centers, it contains 72 writing and drawing activities illustrated by children of various ages. As young journal keepers express feelings and experiences in writing and drawing they develop verbal and non-verbal communication skills in a "whole brain" approach to learning.
