www.imthankful.com Momprenuer/Charity advocate/Author/Artist The Journal is geared toward family in general. I started asking the questions to my youngest before she was 2 year old. Granted all she did was doodle and still does a bit now that she is 5 however, I started the questions (tools) long before they could read and write. Mission of the Journal: The Journals intention is to help facilitate positive communication/dialog between child and care giver. These questions are simple yet highly effective tools to open up the lines of the communication that have become lost in today’s society. Busy parents, crowded schedules and the disconnected parent or care giver and child because of TV, video games, computer and the ever evolving texting. Having the tools to inspire a dialog is crucial not to mention the tools also inspire gratitude. The family can write in the Journals, color, doodle and simply read it. The Reader and the receiver will benefit by simply asking them questions themselves and passing them through generations in their daily life and routine of day. It is our hope that these questions will be a staple in mainstream family communication. If there is no other connection but for these simple questions you cannot help but to engage with your loved one. To feel loved, appreciated and validated just that much more. Quote: “Because of the I'm Thankful Journal, my grandson Andreas and I talk about what he is thankful for every night that he stays with me. It has created such a wonderful time for him and I to share our days with each other. He has said things like "Grandma, I'm thankful for my mommy and daddy and you too Grandma". Because of this journal I realized how important it is for me to make sure my grandson grows up being thankful for the little things in life. I believe with all of my heart he will grow up being a more caring person because of these moments we spend being thankful.” Pam Gray www.chatwithwomen.com
