Yes, journaling can be a fabulous way to reduce stress!Even for a very young child...
I taught each of my three children to express and release feelings on paper at a very young age. It helps them to manage "life" with great ease.
My eldest I recall would shred a piece of paper into 100's of tiny little pieces when he felt angry (Instead of yelling, whining, or acting violent towards others)... Now flash forward many years and he will be found rubbing a piece of paper randomly when he feels overly stressed, LOL!
*shhhh, it's our secret
Paper is calming to the soul if you find a way to express with it...
With (or) without a pen, LOL!
Nice post Solane
Good Day!
