The Sticky Smiles: Words That Stick Journal is a guided journal designed to help kids ages 5-12 build confidence, practice gratitude, and express their feelings in a way that feels fun, simples and never overwhelming.
Created with both children and parents in mind, this journal gently guides kids through daily reflection using affirmations, drawing-friendly prompts, and creative activities...so kids don't need to be strong writers to participate. They can draw, circle, write a word, or share a short thought, making it accessible even for younger children.
This is more than a journal...it's a daily confidence-building habit that helps children slow down, reflect, and feel proud of who they are.
What's inside:

- 7 uplifting themes, including confidence, gratitude, kindness, emotions, imagination, dreams & goals, and reflection
