As a full-time working mother to a six-year-old boy, I was wracked with parental guilt 😔. I desperately wanted to connect at a deeper level beyond the regular routine of school runs 🚌, meal prep 🍽️, bathtime 🛁, and bedtime stories 📚. It was hard to get past the 'How was your day? / Fine' surface conversations 🗣️. So, I tried journaling with my son ✍️, right after story time and before lights out 💤. Five minutes of undistracted presence 🕰️. My boy felt heard 👂. My boy felt seen 👀. (Probably for the only time that day). It was our special time 💖. We reflected on what he did, who was special to him, what he was grateful for, and how he was feeling. He called it 'Special Mama and Me time' 🤗. He'd then peacefully fall asleep 😴, having downloaded his day, which was a game changer for our family 🥰. It had such an impact on us that after a year and a half of development, I created the HappySelf Journal 📓 to help every parent enjoy this bond. We sometimes look back on those early entries and relive those first conversations about what was top of mind for him. If you'd like to create a deeper bond with your child and schedule some truly special time, try the HappySelf Junior Journal. Find out more: https://happyselfjournal.com/products/happyself-junior 🌟
