Our publications focus on skills that build tomorrow’s leaders. Leading from the mind and heart.💚

Gratitude 💚 Reflection
Creativity 💚 Innovation
Organization 💚 Planning
Positive Thinking 💚 Affirmations

One of our guiding principles in our Daily Journal is, “My imagination and talents guide my creations.”

Humans are natural-born creators, and children are no exception.

When we remove excess structure, stimulation, and control, it creates an environment for children to tap into and develop their natural innovative, problem-solving, and creative skills.

The process of creating something puts multiple skills into practise, and is a form of play and self-expression.

Each journal entry holds space for creativity, art, and innovation and includes 50+ drawing prompts for inspiration!

Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!🖍🌱☺️

Bon dimanche! It’s not our usual time for posting here, but with a hot cup of tea and some radio jazz playing in the background, we’re ready to share more about our newest book release!

Our first publication in our Mindfulness and Creativity collection was the wellness journal. This journal focuses primarily on emotions, personal wellness, and self-regulation strategies.

For our second publication, we wanted to create a journal that created space for children to express themselves more freely and one that integrated key values to cultivate on a daily basis.

Our vision for this daily journal was to create a tool that would support children as they develop a holistic and integrative daily practice.

📌The guiding principles behind this daily journal are:

✨Gratitude
What am I grateful for today?

✨Creativity
What am I inspired by today? What do I want to create?

✨Organization
What are the thoughts I want/need to get on paper today?

✨Positive Thinking
What truth/affirmation do I need to reflect on today?

We will continue sharing more information about this journal, as well as pre-orders over the coming week!

Pre-orders for the French and English editions are currently open for newsletter subscribers. We will be opening up pre-orders for our Instagram community sometime this week.

Keep a look out for news of our next release … our French Daily Journal! 📖

We have enjoyed creating this unique and comprehensive journal that is embedded with many of the values that you teach your child on a daily basis. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve created!

See if you can find the clues we’ve left here in this picture!🧐

If you’re interested in the English edition, not to worry! We’re on it!
Is your child in French Immersion? If so, will you be encouraging your child to journal in French or English? Let us know in the comments!

Cultivating the art of gratitude may be challenging for children in the beginning. However, as they learn to focus on the practice, they will reap its benefits in the long run.

If/when you notice your child comparing themselves to their siblings, friends, or classmates, remind them that…

✔️ It is normal to be inspired by other people
✔️ It is good to acknowledge the positive in others
✔️Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses

✔️There are people who are inspired by you
✔️You have admirable qualities and a beautiful personality
✔️You have things to be grateful for
✔️You have people that love you the way you are
✔️You are unique, and your journey is special

As your child develops a mindset of gratitude, they will learn to embrace their authentic self. Gratitude leaves no room for comparison, which is the ultimate goal.

This quote can be applied to life in general, but also to your child’s development and academics.

Becoming a better reader, writer or learner doesn’t happen overnight. Try to recognize when you’re unconsciously setting stressful expectations on your child and instead find ways to add more good things into their life.

- Spend time reading, writing and being creative with your child
- Take your child to the library or bookstore
- Let your child feel seen and heard by you
- Communicate good reports to their teacher
- Reflect and set small and achievable goals together
- Provide them with resources to help them reach their goals
- Celebrate every marker of success

Incorporate these good things, one at a time, and watch your child grow.🪴📖
