The Creative Journal for Children
A Guide for Parents, Teachers, and Counselors
72 simple exercises in writing and drawing to
foster your child's creativity, self-esteem and learning skills.
by Lucia Capacchione, Ph.D., A.T.R., R.E.A.T.
Exercises are explained in a "How,"
"Why," and "When" format
making them very clear and easy to use.
These exercises for journal keeping
are simple and enjoyable ways for children from kindergarten through
junior high to:
- express feelings and thoughts
- feel comfortable about writing and drawing
- acquire the habits of self-observation and
reflection
- foster a positive self-image
- exercise imagination
- learn to communicate
- strengthen attention span and concentration
- enrich academic skills
- find strength and wisdom within
The Creative Journal Method is a tested technique used in
schools and in child psychology counseling that can be used easily at home or in the
classroom.
One of the most important aspect of journal
keeping: it develops the individual's sense
of personal responsibility, self-reliance,
and self-respect.
Often, in the very act of drawing and writing
a feeling or dream, the child resolves whatever
is troubling him or her.
One child, who was
having trouble with depression and rage, was asked to write her feelings
down in her journal. After a page or so of
venting anger, she decided she was tired
of being mad and decided to "get off
it," and went off to play.
"Lucia Capacchione's THE CREATIVE
JOURNAL FOR CHILDREN provides a safe environment for children
to find the buried treasure within: feelings,
experiences, intuition, and dreams. Since grades and criticism are not part of
her journal method, and sharing is voluntary
and non threatening, children can relax and enjoy using this journal
as a vehicle for self-exploration and expression."

"THE CREATIVE JOURNAL FOR CHILDREN represents
the leading edge of learning and where we
need to go with our educational system. For the past fifteen years, Lucia Capacchione
has been a forerunner in the creation of
safe and nonjudgmental learning environments
that kindle children's curiosity and encourage
them to ask the kinds of questions that lead
to greater learning. In witnessing the development
and application of her methods in the school
systems, I have seen children experience
remarkable mental and emotional breakthroughs.
THE CREATIVE JOURNAL FOR CHILDREN is for
every parent and teacher who wants to give
children full opportunity for creative expression
and development."

"As a mother, I have been to the
depths and also to the ecstatic heights of
what parenting has to offer. I have shared
parenthood as half of a couple, been a single
parent, and been the parent of stepchildren
in a blended family. Today, as a grandparent,
I can look back with the wisdom that only
age and experience can bring and share this
tool - "The Creative Journal. May your
journey into parenting bring you as much
life and love as it has me. You deserve the
best . And so do your children and their
children and all the children after them."

I have used Young Living Essential Oils for years.
Young Living Essential Oils are powerful. Dr.Lucia Capacchione, PH.D. Pioneer
Expressive Arts Therapist, Art
Therapy book author and good friend of mine, stopped by with 2 of
her grandsons. One felt very sick to his stomach so I put 1 drop of
Peppermint oil in a glass of water, he drank it and in less than 5
minutes he felt fine.
Another good friend came over, a bit agitated
about his recent divorce, I put 2 drops of our blend "Peace & Calming" on this
250 pound guy's neck, and he put 1 drop under his nose, and within 10
minutes- he was laid back and chilled out - saying "Golly, I think
there is something to these oils!"
Believe me, this works great on hard-to-manage and hyperactive kids
too, as a matter of fact, many parents have used our blend Peace & Calming
with our supplement "Mineral Essence" as an alternative to Ritalin.
