Easing Into The Back To School Season
Hei!
As the school year begins, children often face a mix of emotions—excitement, nervousness, and everything in between. Have you noticed anything? Daily doodling is a simple, effective way to help them manage these feelings. And we want to help make this easier! The Notebook was designed for kids and its easy-to-turn pages mean it's frustration-free for daily doodling! You can make a new habit that is a fun and easy part of their routine, even if you only have a few minutes to spare each day. Regular doodling can help children articulate their feelings non-verbally, making it easier for them to understand and manage their emotions.
Research indicates that short bursts of creative activities like doodling benefit emotional health. The American Art Therapy Association highlights that art therapy, including doodling, helps children manage stress and express their emotions effectively. Even short daily sessions can have a positive impact on their well-being.
Practical Tips
Keep It Short and Simple:
Aim for a doodle session of just 5-10 minutes. This short time frame makes it easier for part.
Encourage kids to use the notebook for daily doodles that show their feelings about school, changes, or autumn.
Flexible Timing
Choose a time that fits your family’s schedule. This can be a calming end-of-day ritual or a morning activity. Consistency is key, but be flexible and adapt as needed.
Set Up a Doodle Spot
If you can, create a dedicated space for doodling with Dråpe notebooks and crayons. Make it inviting and ready to use at any time.
No Pressure
If your child isn’t in the mood to talk about their doodles, that’s okay. The goal is to provide them with a stress-free way to express themselves
Stay Flexible
Be open to adjusting the doodle routine based on the child’s preferences and needs. The aim is to create a positive experience, not a rigid routine.
With our notebooks, we hope to provide kids with a simple, enjoyable way to let off some steam and find a bit of calm. Enjoy the flexibility of this habit, and you’ll be supporting your child’s emotional well-being both now and in the future!
Happy doodling!
