The Growlzn Mindset Journal is a guided activity journal for children aged 6–12. Each page takes about ten minutes and mixes drawing, short prompts and small challenges.
Along the way your child practises naming feelings with the mood ‘weather chart’, speaking to themselves kindly, noticing good things and trying again when something feels hard. Parent tips help you turn a page into a proper conversation.

As seen in…
Got this journal for my daughter as she struggled with confidence in maths and trying new things. After just 3 weeks of journaling together, she’s already become much kinder to herself and more willing to give things a go.
I've never seen something work this well before. We picked it up at the start of summer break and by the time school started, my 8-year-old's confidence was unrecognisable.
Got the family bundle and now all my kids sit together and talk about the prompts. I've definitely noticed positive changes! More confident for sure :)
We’ve started using the Growlzn Mindset Journal as part of our bedtime routine. It gives us a nice way to talk about the day together.

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter after we lost her grandad. She struggled to talk about her feelings and I thought this would help her process everything in her own way. This journal has been so helpful for her. She writes things down that she can't say out loud yet and it's opened up conversations between us. Beautiful book and worth every penny. Thank you

Why ages 6–12
Every stage of childhood matters. Here's why the primary years are such a good time to build confidence habits.
Age0–2
Building trust
Bonding, senses and first words lay the foundations.
Age2–6
Learning through play
Imagination runs wild as children soak up words and routines.
Age6–12
Forming the inner voice
Self-image and self-talk take shape, and habits started now tend to stick.
Age12+
Finding independence
Identity is tested, and long-held beliefs take more effort to shift.
Ages 6–12
Somewhere around seven, a new voice appears. “I’m the slow one.” “I’m rubbish at drawing.” Children start describing themselves, and comparing.⁵
The good news? That voice is still being written. Their brains keep building and pruning connections right into the teens,⁶ so what they practise now tends to stick.
Ten minutes, a few times a week: name a feeling, try again, spot one good thing. Small, repeated, and theirs to keep.

After
Every child is different. It’s a gentle daily habit, not a miracle cure, and you have 30 days to return unused journals.
Inside the journal
From “Meet your Feelings Team” to “Your Big Dream”, every page is a short guided activity your child can finish before bed.
Meet your Feelings TeamHappiness, worry, anger, calm and more
Kind self-talk“I can’t” → “I can’t do it yet”
Gratitude missionNoticing the good, every day
Set an intention“By the end of this journal, I want to…”
You + your childOne gentle chat per page
A kinder, braver inner voiceThe confidence to say “I’ll try”
Grounded in research
Each prompt is built around a habit that child-development research links to confidence and wellbeing.
Children who learn that abilities grow with effort tend to stick with challenges for longer. Our missions celebrate effort, not just getting it right.1
Putting a feeling into words can take the edge off it. The mood ‘weather chart’ gives children an easy way to say how they feel.2
Noticing small good things each day has been linked to more optimism in young people. A quick daily prompt helps the habit stick.3
Talking to yourself like a supportive friend can help under pressure. Prompts help children swap “I can't” for “I'm still learning”.4
These studies look at the general techniques used in the journal, not at the Growlzn journal itself. Tap any study to read the original paper.

He writes all his worries in there and says it helps get them out of his head
