Write On, Journal-Keeping for Teens, shows boys and
girls how to get started, advises them in selecting a journal book, helps them
find the time to write and coaches them in using their journal for specific
purposes. Through journaling, for example, a teen can learn more about
him/herself, others and the world around them. They can work through their
grief, manage their anger and improve their grades. Journaling is also a
problem-solving tool. This attractive 48-page booklet offers tips and
techniques to help teens begin and continue the process of personal
journal-keeping.
A common obstacle to journaling for many is coming up with
something to write. In my book, I offer several techniques for
"journal-writer's block." I suggest creating a journal jar, for example, with
topics you can draw from to get you started. I recommend, in situations where
the words are too painful to write, that the teen write their story as though
it's fiction. A youngster of few words, might express him or herself in poetry
or drawings.
Any professional who works with young people generally
recommends that the youth keep a journal. But few educators or religious or
youth leaders are equipped to instruct the youngster in journal-keeping
techniques nor can they respond to the questions an adolescent might have about
journaling techniques. This book answers those questions and provides those
techniques.
