Welcome to the SHINE Experience!
​
The SHINE Mindfulness Journal for Kids© is a fun, interactive experience that contains rich character-building exercises along with daily journal pages to bring out the best in your child. The Journal pages and activities are short, colorful, and engaging. They are designed to help kids learn kindness and gratitude as well as develop strategies to calm, focus and decrease anxiety while also having a positive mindset toward themselves. The journal helps kids be happy, enjoy life, improve overall well-being.... and SHINE!
​
Mission:
Our mission is to have kids be their authentic selves and SHINE their light. It is also to encourage kids to show kindness and gratitude towards themselves and others, as well as to help them find more positive ways to see and respond to things in their lives. It is also part of my mission to have SHINE in all schools as a much-needed foundation for their daily curriculum.
Vision:
Our vision is for every child to know they have a voice and to feel heard. For all kids to have access to some version of SHINE which has proven to be a game-changer for all. The benefits far exceeded what the child gets out of the journal individually but also what it does for classrooms as a whole and families in the homes.
