For Christmas, we bought each of our oldest three boys one of Monk Manual’s new journal for kids. There is a spread for every day (undated) with one side being the same set of questions every time and the other being a creativity page with a different question. There are also occasional pages to look at specific growth areas like generosity or intentionality. It’d be nice to say that we’ve diligently used them every single day and my children are masters at examining their lives, but that’s not true, of course. More importantly, I don’t even expect that to be true anymore. We have ebbed in and out of using them. Some weeks we are great at getting to it at bedtime; other weeks are more chaotic and they sit on our shelves. But we will keep going for a couple of reasons.
