Healthy self-expression of emotions during challenging times can allow children to move past self-destruction tendencies. During the past two years, my students have experienced disruptions in their lives that have upset their vulnerable foundations. Students who do not have a means to communicate what they are feeling will often release their frustrations through unhealthy ways. Keeping a journal about daily life and their feelings offers an excellent outlet (and writing practice) for tweens and teens. For children who have a hard time expressing their needs verbally or making decisions about things, keeping a journal of their thoughts is a great way to learn emotional organization and processing. Even if all they do is write about an interaction they had during the day, putting it on paper can provide more objective reflection and effective coping. Children can use a journal as an effective outlet. Journaling also provides the opportunity to explore the details of their thoughts about a recent experience in brutal honesty. Journaling has many benefits for students such as: improves mental health, encourages self-confidence, boosts emotional intelligence, helps with achieving goals, inspires creativity, boosts memory, enhances critical thinking skills and heightens academic performance.
