A guided journal that helps kids feel proud, kind, and confident in who they are
Available August 1st - Pre-Orders Open July 1st

What if your child could see just how much they matter?

How Can I Make a Difference? is a guided journal created for kids ages 8 to 12. It gives them space to think, create, and reflect on what makes them unique and how they can make a positive impact. With thoughtful prompts and simple activities, this journal helps kids recognize their strengths, build confidence, and believe in their ability to make a positive difference.

As they move through each page, they'll explore how kindness, bravery, and small choices can shape the world around them. They'll see that their voice matters, their ideas are important, and the things they do every day can inspire others as well as themselves.

This journal is more than a workbook. It's a tool for helping kids feel seen, capable, and proud of who they are becoming.

  • Thoughtful Prompts that help kids reflect on what matters to them and how they can help others
  • Creative Activities that encourage kids to draw, write, and dream about ways to make a difference
  • Self-Esteem Boosters that guide kids to recognize their strengths, take action, and feel proud of their actions
  • Kindness Challenges to inspire real-world acts of helping at home, school, and in the community
  • A Service Log to help kids track what they've accomplished and how it made them feel

"I 100% recommend this journal to parents, teachers, or youth leaders. I have seen many other SEL and service learning programs, and the quality of this one is top notch! As an educator, I would use this in my own classroom!"
