Treasured Journal

Book excerpt: Welcome to the tween years!Tween girls (anywhere from 9 to 13 years of age) are beginning to think of themselves, their friends, even God in different ways. They are asking questions like:What's unique about me?What's happening to my body?How do I handle my emotions?Who are my friends?What about technology?How can I know God?The Treasured Journal is designed to help girls think about these questions and to create opportunities for meaningful conversations between moms and daughters. Each topic (identity, body, emotions, friendships, technology, faith) has five days of things to think about, talk about, doodle, and do (plus things for moms to do, too).Moms and daughters can take this journey of discovery together, and both will walk away with new tools for life, a deeper connection, and along the way, discover just how treasured every daughter is.The Treasured Journal can be used by itself or with the companion study, Treasured: A 6 Session Experience for Moms and Tween Daughters. It is for moms and daughters, or small groups of moms and daughters.Treasured is a collaboration between Courtney DeFeo and Parent Cue. To find out more, visit TreasuredStudy.com or TheParentCue.org.
