Great Book for Older Daughters as Well
Format: Hardcover
I am nineteen, and I recently bought this book for my mom for mother's day. She was completely stunned and thrilled by the idea of a mother-daughter journal. We have already written in a couple of the beginning entries each which ask things like-"Favorite song..." and "Favorite thing to do with mother/daughter...," and filling out these random but entertaining questions is a great way to start the journal as well as dive into the more thoughtful questions which involve things like first memories. After reading several of the customer reviews of this book, I was a little hesitant to buy it because most of the reviews involved the daughters being no older than twelve. But I assure every mother and daughter that this is a great book for older ages as well as long as the mother and daughter are close-such as is my experience. Even though I am nineteen, this book does not seem childish or the entries forced because we enjoy having this new ability to bond. It also seemed personal at least for us since I write stories, so this was like offering a branch of my life to my mom who doesn't really share in this part of my life. It is also great because it allows for very short yet heartfelt entries which do not take much time to complete. Another wonderful feature of this book is that is helps both the mother and the daughter relive memories as well as share each other's. It is both light and entertaining which allows for a good distraction and escape from the hassle and occasional chaos of the world. The best part of this book, though, is that it lets mothers and daughters share in one another's lives as well as create new memories and stories together. I highly recommend this book to any mother and daughter team wanting an excuse or way to bond. Some of the questions, such as the ones which involve dating, do seem meant for children probably no younger than six, but there are many more fun entries and activities such as guessing and drawing which items are in the other's purse/bookbag. They also involve future advice for dating, so these questions may seem a little late for teenagers and older daughters. Yet, I found this book to overall be a wonderful idea as well as an outlet, and I applaud the mother-daughter team who began this journal. It is truly a great buy! ... show more

Greatest item I have ever decided to buy.
Format: Hardcover
My daughter is 10 years old and I've always told her she can tell me anything. When I found this journal, I thought I'd give it a try. Not only has it created a special bond between us, but she feels more open to write down questions or ideas to share with me that may otherwise be too embarrassing for her to share otherwise. She'll write in it and put it on my nightstand. I make it a point to give her the advice she needs or just tell her an equally embarrassing story so she doesn't feel alone. I make it a point to get it back to her night stand as soon as possible so she feels like it's important enough and that I truly do care about what she's thinking and feeling. Too often we get so busy and wrapped up in other things, we forget these little humans we're raising really need our undivided attention! They don't seem to have one of these books for "Mom and Son" but my 8 year old son soon wanted this special bond also. I purchased a regular "manly" looking journal and wrote a very special message on the inside cover for him. He's my tough child. The one that fights back with everything. I cannot believe the change in him almost immediately after starting the journal. He was daddy's boy almost his entire 8 years. Now we have such an amazing bond because he feels he can tell me anything. His first entry was about a girl who likes him at school. It was my chance to write down how special girls are and the right way to treat them. We do a lot of different things, like at dinner we ask what their favorite part of their day and the worst part. I tell them everyday to make sure they do at least one act of kindness a day, but more importantly I ask them what they noticed someone did for them as an act of kindness. I want them to keep their eyes and hearts open to realize there is good in the world and it happens everyday to all of us. Even doing these little things, I wanted something more and these journals are perfect! If you haven't don't this yet and want a way to bring you and your children closer, I highly suggest doing this. All the great advise my mom taught me before she passed away can now be shared in words with my children and they seem to hold on to the words better than if I spoke them. ... show more

What I look forward to!
Format: Hardcover
My daughter just turned 10 and I gave this to her for her birthday. I gave it with a no big deal attitude...so it when and if you want to, no pressure. She has chosen to write in it almost every night. I didn't expect to feel so excited to see her passages and also reflect back! I have stage iv cancer and little does she know this is the perfect remembrance for her. The prompts are fun and thoughtful. I love that you can pick any page and not have to worry about going in order. I love it and hope she cherishes it when she's older. She's already expressed that she thinks it's fun and has an easier time "writing on paper" her feelings which I think is incredibly healthy. Overall, awesome purchase that I think is great for age 10 and up! ... show more

A Must For Every Mother/Daughter!
Format: Hardcover
If I could rate this more stars, I would. I saw this on Amazon and thought it was a wonderful concept. I did not realize how awesome it was until I actually beginning journaling with my daughter. It is a wonderful way to flourish your relationship. It is not that I had a bad relationship with my 8 year old, but this journal is enhancing our communication on a different level than before. I love that we are both sharing so many things with each other, knowing that what we share is kept between us. It seems like my daughter is able to open up to me about things just simply by being able to write them down. There are questions to get you writing, free space for free writing or doodling, handy ribbon bookmarks and the quality of the journal is sturdy enough to keep this journal for years. We take turns writing in the journal and when we are done, we slip it under each other's pillow. She gets so excited to find it under her pillow (and I do too). I will be purchasing another one in a few years for my younger daughter. I look forward to seeing how this helps us keep an open communication through the teenage years. I recommend this journal to every single mother/daughter. I hope the mother/daughter duo who created this journal work on another journal so that when this one is filled up, we can work on another one. ... show more

Great mother/daughter bonding tool
Format: Hardcover
Both my daughter and I were excited to get this journal. Building trust with my daughter is important to me as she approaches her teenage years, as I want her to feel comfortable in confiding in me. I think this book is an excellent tool for pretty much any age, as it makes achieving a certain level of intimacy even easier because there is that medium of writing rather than posing questions out loud or talking face-to-face about sticky subjects. While it's important to be able to do this, I think this journal provides a nice means of establishing a closer relationship that will encourage easier, more comfortable conversation. The book comes with two attached ribbons, one for mom and one for daughter, that can be used to mark new entries or for mom or daughter to indicate where one wants the other to pick up. There are plenty of blank pages for free writing, but the book also contains a variety of suggested topics and list pages that encourage the correspondents to discuss things like favorite songs, dreams, life ambitions, and things they'd like to do together. My daughter especially likes these pages as she's at an age where the poll-style appeals to her. If you're not quite sure where to begin with shared journaling, this book is a great investment because of the proposed topics. It's also nice to look at. The cover is cute, and the inside includes pretty, muted colors and designs with different colors to differentiate the mother's section from the daughter's. You can write in the journal from front to back or skip around and write about whatever topic interests you, as my daughter and I do. After only a couple of entries, I learned some things about my daughter I'd never known. Though we talk a lot and are close, the journal brought up topics I hadn't considered discussing with her, and it helps us both to learn more about the other as a person. I think this is great for kids, who sometimes don't see their parents as the human beings they are, but it's also great for me as a mom. It's touching to learn about my daughter's hopes and aspirations, and I love that she feels empowered and encouraged to share them with me. I think this would make a beautiful gift for mother/daughter pairs of all ages. ... show more

I love using this with my 13 year old!
Format: Hardcover
Having a teenage girl can be challenging at times. There are so many emotions and teenage girls often experience what I would consider an identity crisis around 7th grade. I purchased this because I was looking for a way to better communicate with my daughter that would allow her to write all of her feelings down. Sometimes we may not say what it is that we feel, but we might write down our exact feelings. In addition, I think writing allows you to process and record all of your thoughts and you are not interrupted by the other person. In going through a divorce, I thought It was imperative for me to find a way that she could express herself freely. This journal did just that. It also provides you with topics or what I would consider ice breakers to help you ease into different and difficult conversations. She has enjoyed using this book and I believe that this has allowed our relationship to grow and we are much closer than before. My daughter is 13, however I would recommend this book for all ages just as long as they can write and understand. This book has also made having conversations in person much easier because I now have an understanding of her feelings. I would highly recommend this book…especially for teenagers! ... show more

It creates a deeper and special bond between you and your daughter
Format: Hardcover
First and foremost I'd like to say that this journal is beautifully crafted. My daughter just turned 13 and I wanted to get her journals to express herself but when I saw this I just had to buy it. I thought it would be a great idea and I hoped she would think so too. Let me just say if you won't commit to writing back then don't bother but if your willing to be open and commit this is a great way to open up w her and communicate w out the awkwardness of some topics whether it be on your end or her end. Needless to say she loves it and she's always anxious for my reply we started this a week ago and we both love this journal and are looking forward to continuing it. 😊 ps. I love the bookmark strings that let's us both know where I left off and where she needs to start. Very creative and well thought of journal. ... show more
