Journal Prompts for Boys
Interested in starting a “Mom & Me” journal with your son? Mother/Son journals are a great way to connect with your child. My boys are so different from my daughter that what I do with her doesn’t always work with them. I love keeping journal prompts on hand for those days when I’m struggling to come up with a new entry. If you are new to “Mom & Me” journals or are just looking for some fresh ideas keep reading for some journal prompts for boys.

I love to ask questions so I can get to know them better but keeping a journal is a chance to let them know about me too. I don’t ever use the journal to correct or point out flaws. My opinion is that your journal should be about encouragement and positive interactions. You might also like this post: Easy Ways to Positively Connect With Your Child
