Moving Journal for Kids

Book excerpt: Moving is one of the most stressful life experiences for an adult, let alone a child. Tools that encourage communication between parents and a child help make for a successful transition. After moving eleven times in sixteen years, writer and mother of three boys Janet Corniel understood the importance of developing an interactive journal-type manuscript to help children cope with their feelings of displacement based on creating these journals for her boys. She brings this to you to help your child throughout the process of the move by allowing them to catalog their feelings while giving them words of encouragement. From her experience, Janet understands the importance of offering an opportunity for children to express themselves, which helps to empower them throughout the process.
