10 Keys to Building Self
Esteem in Boys
Key
One: Focus
When using this journal, the focus of conversation
between you and your child is placed directly on the positive qualities,
traits, and talents your child possesses.
Key
Two: Time
Allotting a time specifically for you and
your son to complete a journal entry demonstrates your commitment and love
AND conveys a powerful message that shows just how much you value your
precious child. Your gift of time to your son is truly invaluable.
Key
Three: Sharing
Life takes on a deeper meaning once we learn the art
of sharing our special-ness (our unique gifts) with others in
our life whom we love and trust. That is why Journal Buddies is all about
sharing the good stuff that you like, love and enjoy about child WITH your
child in a very active and formalized manner. The act of sharing, in turn,
brings about amazing
results in your child's skill and ability to both identify and share his
excellence with you!
Key
Four: Celebrating
Openly celebrating our good points is a skill that
must be taught and practiced until it becomes a very comfortable habit.
While you and your child enjoy a journaling adventure this skill is taught, modeled and practiced until your
child becomes an absolute expert and has mastered vital life-skill of
celebration.
Key
Five: Creative Expression
Absolutely everyone is a one-of-a-kind unique
expression in this world. Taking the time to express that uniqueness
through creativity powerfully reinforces this incredible fact of life. Creativity is a major piece of making this journal keeping experience an
adventure in journaling. (Receive the exclusive

Six: Healthy Habits
Habits are formed through repetitive actions and
each of the 30 journal entries in the Journal Buddies book
help to establish the healthy habit of looking for and celebrating
one's goodness as well as the goodness of others.
Key
Seven: Choice
Choice making is a powerful force and a
life-changing skill. Model for (and in the process teach) your child
how to make good choices in a practical and experiential way through your
shared Journal Buddies experiences.
Key
Eight: Relationships
When you and your son share this journal you will each openly and
actively practice building a healthy relationship.
In other words, you will demonstrate the "HOWS" of healthy
relationship building. And, if you already have a great
relationship with your child the bonus is that you'll make your relationship
even stronger!
Key
Nine: Connect
This shared journaling experience is a creative way to ensure that
your child feels connected to you in a deep and profound
way at least once per day!
Key
Ten: Communicate
The guided format of this journal opens the door to
positive, reinforcing communication with your son. This is
the most powerful key for you to ensure that your child not only hears but
also listens to the great stuff you love about him.
With
Journal Buddies I have truly re-invented journal keeping and brought
creativity, excitement and purpose to a wonderful, powerful and
life-changing activity.
I hope
that you are as excited about these fresh and innovative journals as I am
and invite you to contact me with your
thoughts and insights!
Here's to
improving your child's self-esteem!
