What is Project Smiles?

Project Smiles is a creative journaling program designed to help children explore their emotions, build self-awareness, and boost emotional well-being. Through fun and engaging journal prompts, we encourage kids to reflect on their experiences, express their feelings, and develop a positive mindset. Our mission is to empower children to understand their emotions and communicate them in healthy ways, laying a foundation for lifelong emotional health.

Why Journaling?

Research shows that journaling can have a profound impact on children’s emotional development. By encouraging them to express their thoughts and feelings, journaling promotes emotional regulation, reduces anxiety, and enhances problem-solving skills. It also helps children develop greater self-awareness and resilience by allowing them to reflect on their experiences. Project Smiles harnesses these proven benefits in an easy-to-use, engaging program that children love. With creative prompts, mindfulness activities, and fun exercises, Project Smiles makes self-discovery enjoyable while helping children build confidence and navigate their emotions in a healthy way.

A Message from the Creator

Project Smiles was born from my own experiences as a child who was quiet and shy, with no visible red flags or emotional issues on the surface, yet deep down I was filled with pain and sadness. I created this program because I know firsthand how important it is for children to have the right tools to navigate their emotions. As the founder, I wanted to offer children a way to connect with their feelings, build confidence, and foster emotional awareness, something I needed when I was young. Project Smiles empowers kids through journaling, helping them grow into emotionally healthy individuals.
