A reflection guide
A few gentle journal prompts for teens and parents
Take a small pause and choose a question that feels useful today. Teens and parents can write separately, in their own words and at their own pace.
For teens (13+)
Start wherever you are
You can answer honestly, keep it brief, or choose a different question. There is no right way to fill a page.
- What took up most of my attention today?
- When did I feel most like myself this week?
- What is one thing I wish someone understood about today?
- What is something small I handled in my own way?
- What would make tomorrow feel a little easier to begin?
For parents
Make room to notice
These are for your own reflection. You can take a breath, notice what matters to you, and leave the page unfinished.
- What did I notice about my teen today without trying to solve it?
- When did we share an easy or ordinary moment lately?
- What am I carrying today that I could set down for a little while?
- What could I ask, then listen to without rushing to respond?
- What is one small way to make room for rest or connection this week?
