My Inner Detective Journal

My Inner Detective Journal is a beautifully illustrated, 100+ page guided journal for children aged 5-10, designed to help them understand their thoughts, feelings, and inner self-talk in a kind, empowering way.

Through playful activities, colouring, drawing, reflection, and simple calming practices, children are invited to become Inner Detectives - learning how to notice what's going on inside their heads, bodies and hearts, and how to respond with kindness when things feel difficult.

As part of The Booster Way®, this journal introduces children to two inner voices we all have:

• Booster - the kind, encouraging voice

• Crusher - the mean, critical voice

Children learn how to recognise these voices, how it makes their body feel, and choose helpful ways to respond when feelings get hurt, things go wrong, or mistakes happen.

This journal is designed to be used as a practical companion to the children's story book The Voices in My Head!, which introduces the characters Booster and Crusher. Together, the book and journal help children understand the concepts first, develop awareness and then cultivate skills to respond kindly to themselves in difficult moments.

Inside this journal, children will:

• Build emotional awareness and self-understanding

• Learn kind, supportive self-talk

• Practise simple breathing and calming skills

• Develop confidence, resilience, and self-leadership

• Create a shared language with parents, teachers, and carers

This journal can be used independently or alongside a caring adult, making it ideal for families, home schooling, classrooms, nurture groups, foster care settings, and wellbeing programmes.

Helping children make friends with themselves is one of the greatest gifts we can offer them - and it starts here.
