Life can feel like a "blank page". With each memory, experience, and emotion, new colors, lines, and textures are added to it. But when a natural disaster happens for a child, what are they to do with this seemingly "messy mark"?
This 40+ activity guide for children helps them process their own feelings and responses to the natural disaster (of a tornado, earthquake, fire, etc.) through the lens of being a blank page. Through feeling expression and identifying of coping skills with each activity, children will be better able to discover their own strength and resilience, reimagine safe spaces and comforting routines, build emotional tools like breathing, grounding, and calm-down skills, and so much more.
With encouraging prompts and a focus on healing, this journal can be used at home, in schools or shelters, or with counselors and caregivers. It’s a gentle companion for any child learning to feel safe and strong again.
