Big Life Journal – Teen Edition: Guided Growth Mindset Workbook with Writing Prompts and Goal-Setting Activities for Teens and Tweens (Ages 11–17)

The media could not be loaded. This journal arrived within a day or two of purchase and I was really pleased with it overall!I was looking for gift ideas for my 16 year old daughter when I stumbled across the Big Life Journal. She’s interested in anime, graphic novels, and your typical blank journals; so I thought this would be something she’d like.The graphics jumped out at me and the content seems positive and compelling enough to keep my daughter invested in it beyond the first few pages. Teenage life is weird. I figure they all could use the esteem boost and motivation, without this being the cornball parent move.For the price it’s very substantially sized with quality paper and vibrant graphics. I ordered the adult version which is similar in price but, unfortunately, is smaller, thinner and the print quality is much worse. I’m a little surprised the teen version is better quality. I’ll be returning the adult version but am happy with this teen version. Will update my review once I have a chance to see how she interacts with it and get feedback from the actual teen.

My 11 year old received this for Christmas and has been doing it each night before bed for the last couple of weeks. It is very engaging, interesting to look at, great information, well written, concise, and accessible. My child has been struggling with social anxiety and executive function issues, and this has really helped them shift their mind set about themselves and things around them in a positive, growth oriented way. Highly recommend.

I actually purchased this as a gift but looked over it when I first received it. It is very interactive and the conversational prompts seem helpful for someone who would otherwise not know where or how to parlay their thoughts onto the page.It is a little pricey for a journal but it is hardcover and hard spine like a book, so will likely hold up to more pressure that your standard spiral bound or paperback journal.

This is a great way to reinforce growth mindset & goal setting. We’ll be using this in our homeschool for our middle schoolers. I love the graphics and color. Not a fan of the $26.50. It feels a little pricy in comparison to other growth mindset journals out there.

It looks great. It’s for my daughter and she is going to be going through it.

What a great resource for teens! My teenager really likes this journal because of the prompts. I think it helps him regulate emotions and helps him out emotions into words.

In fairness, I bought this for my almost 12 year old who is not yet a teen. Still, I feel it is better suited for teens close to graduating high school or who are in college. My daughter uses some tech but I didn’t like the idea of her designing an app or filming her first YouTube video as exercises for the journal. I am returning and may buy her the kid version instead as I do like the content around growth mindset, etc. it just seemed to encourage online behavior more than I would want to for tweens/young teens.Otherwise, the journal seems well made but is rather pricey.

My daughter enjoys writing in this kournal.with the bold colors and art
