From bestselling author Eli Harwood comes a transformative shared mother-son journal perfect for creating a lifetime of joy and close connection!

What fills you with delight about your child? Do you get a chance to tell them enough? For busy parents, it's easy to lose sight of what matters. But taking just ten minutes at the end of each day to reflect and connect is crucial.

This guided journal—meant for children ages 8 and up—offers a fun and self-directed way for both parent and child to be more playful, inspire connection, and delve deeper into what makes each other tick.

Inside, you'll find 100+ meaningful prompts to:
  • boost your playful, fun-loving, & silly sides
  • share what inspires delight 
  • explore common & unique interests
  • swap stories in lively conversations
  • grow self-confidence, create trust & memories together

As a family therapist, author Eli Harwood (aka Attachment Nerd) knows kids need parents to truly see them, feel their pain, and help them not to feel alone. Built on a strong foundation of attachment research, Uniquely Us is the only shared journal on the market designed to foster a secure attachment relationship between mom and son.

Eli's reassuring voice reminds us that it's never too late to transform the way you and your son connect, and build a lifelong bond.
