The My Story
Journals

Why professionals
recommend them

“Children are growing up in a complex, competitive world. The My Story Journals are outstanding, creative tools to assist in self discovery and to cement confidence in your own life story.”

Dr Truida Botha
- Educational Psychologist (JHB)
“With our children facing more and more mental-wellness issues than ever before, the effects of Covid-19 not yet prominent, it has become increasingly important to provide them with socio-emotional tools to help deal with the adversity they are facing today. The My Story Journals are fun, age appropriate, well researched diaries that help children in this age group develop healthy egoes, better self regulation and the ability to stand stronger alone.”

Chantel Griesel
- Occupational Therapist (CPT)

About the Tribe

This online platform aims to invest in the mental wellness and emotional resilience of the six- to thirteen-year-old age group. In this tribe:

We Journal

Don’t worry! There are no intimidating blank pages, we promise! Your child can scribble and draw and paste and make notes about everything in their life’s story: the characters, the places, the events and also how this story makes them feel.

Green Journal

Children’s social-emotional needs increase tremendously between the ages of six and thirteen. This journal uses the Story Narrative approach, to allow children to reflect on themselves and their lives in an attempt to strengthen their ego-development.

Yellow Journal

Tweens face unique challenges ranging from peer orientation to social pressures. This journal uses fun prompts and emotional growth activities to cement a healthy self esteem.

We Meet on the Mat

We clench our fists when we get angry. We pace when we get impatient. Our cheeks turn red when we fancy someone. Our insides and our outsides are connected! When we Meet on the Mat, we use BREATH and MOVEMENT to get our inside and our outside on the same peaceful page!

Meet on the Mat - The Emotion Series

In these five guided sessions, Liza uses movement and breath to help kids deal with the emotions angry, sad, happy, tired and silly.

Meet on the Mat - Mindful Minute

In these 8 guided sessions Liza uses breath and repetitive phrases to bring kids back to Calm.

We Celebrate artist hour

There is an artist inside us all. Sometimes we shut them up. Not in this Tribe, we don’t. Every week we celebrate Artist Hour! When we create, we notice beauty. And when we notice beauty, we can make it part of our story.

The Art Journal

The My Story Art Journal is a fun, creative tool for Tweens to celebrate their story through art. Whether you doodle, draw, design or paint your experiences, you reflect!

We Muse

We what? We muse. No, not moose! Muse. Our mind is our control centre. If your mind tells you you’re not good enough, the rest of you will believe it. Musing is a way of steering your mind like a car. We need to show it where to go to get to the good, empowering thoughts.
