Raising Good Humans Guided Journal cover

For busy, stressed-out parents, it's easy to lose sight of what matters the most-raising happy, conscientious, and compassionate kids who will grow up to make the world a better place. In the midst of rushing your child out the door in the morning, preparing meals, keeping house-not to mention working-you may feel bogged down, burned out, emotionally drained, and overstressed. And this stress can take a toll on your mental health and your relationship with your kids. What you need is your own space to unwind and reflect on what really matters.

Based on the self-help hit Raising Good Humans, this guided journal offers simple writing practices to help you calm your own stress, work through difficult emotions, and set intentions for more mindful parenting. The prompts in this journal will also help you identify and explore your values, and challenge the negative habits you've learned from your parents, so you can interact with and respond to your children in more skillful ways.

You'll find tons of guided writing prompts to help you:

- Keep your cool in the moment-even during those inevitable tantrums
- "Untangle" from the beliefs and habits your parents passed on to you
- Practice compassion toward yourself and your kids
- Make a space for difficult thoughts and feelings ·Be more mindful as a parent-and as a human being yourself!

Finally, this guided journal will help you discover the parenting style that works for you and your family on your journey toward raising kind, confident kids.

Written by renowned mental health and wellness experts, New Harbinger's Journals for Change combine evidence-based psychology with proven-effective guided journaling techniques to help you make lasting personal change-one page at a time.
