My Feelings Have Names
A Journal for Kids Who Want to Understand What's Going on Inside
Children who use this journal build their own vocabulary for what goes on inside — in their own words.
For children ages 8-11 who want a place to name what they feel — at home, at school, with friends, with family.
The Name It First Experience
Feelings that have names are feelings a child can talk about, ask for help with, and understand well enough to navigate their day. My Feelings Have Names gives children ages 8 to 11 a personal journal for naming what is going on inside — at home, at school, with friends, with family — in their own words, without being told what to feel or what the right answer is. This journal is for the child who needs a place to put what they are carrying — and for the parent or teacher who wants to give them one. A Journal for Kids Who Want to Understand What Is Going on Inside builds the vocabulary that makes feelings speakable.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What is going on inside you right now — does it have a name yet?
- What feeling showed up for you today that was hard to explain?
- What makes you feel happy that you could draw or write down?
