Divorce Resources for Pre-Teens
10 to 13 years of age
Journal Writing
Pre-teens use journals to create an historical account of events that
occurred in their daily life. Pre-teens in divorce should make sure
that they also write about their emotions. Pre-teens who are
faithful to this craft will be able to better organize their thoughts
and feelings and communicate more clearly to friends, parents,
teachers or counselors.
Journal writing creates a pre-teen that is more resilient, one who is
able to transition through difficult events and circumstances.
Children who can talk
about anger sadness and
hopelessness are the same
children who can begin to
write about their feelings.
The emotions contained in
our spinning wheel of
emotions create a perfect
word bank children can
use when writing their
journals.
