A Great Introduction to Journaling
Date:September 20, 2015
Pros: High quality, Durable, gives prompt to inspire writing, the paper inside could be larger, protects against pesky little brothers, invisible ink and black light make writing secret
Cons: paper inside could be lined
I love this journal for my daughter. It offers 30 thought-inspiring prompts and the capacity to create 10 personal ones of your own. These help her on the days when she feels like her day was anything but extraordinary.
The design is very girly with pink and the large white flower design on the front. My daughter took an immediate interest in it.
The invisible ink pen and black light make this a very secret journal. My daughter loves writing with the pen and her brother doesn't know about the black light so it's even more secret.
And of course with a little brother, one must also be aware that there are security breeches. This journal is on lock down with the customized intruder alert to ward off anyone who tries to open the journal. Should Dear Brother attempt to mimic the password, the journal records it so you can play it back later and catch him in action (and have proof for Mom!).
This is such a fun way to inspire children to journal. I wish the paper inside were lined and that part of it a little larger to enable more flow.
Overall, we are very happy with this toy.

Fun toy, but limited usefulness as a real journal
Date:September 16, 2015
Pros: High quality, Durable, techy security features are great fun, would make a fun birthday gift
Cons: limited usefulness as a journal, notebook is too small compared to the casing, notebook paper needs lines, seems to lack "staying power" as a toy
Upon first seeing My Password Journal, my eight-year-old daughter’s face lit up. She said it had a very pretty design on the front. She couldn’t wait to get it out of the package and stick batteries in it.
She encountered difficulties right off the bat with trying to record the password. Upon trying to repeat the password, which is required to set it, even in a silent room, the device kept exclaiming in its proper British accent, “It’s too noisy! Start over in a quieter place!” I’m not sure how much quieter one can get than absolute silence. My daughter was frustrated, but her persistence paid off and she finally got the hang of it.
Once she finally got the hang of setting the password, my eight-year-old and her five-year-old sister had a grand time with the security features of My Password Journal. In the first 24 hours, I think the eight-year-old changed the password and “intruder alert” about 15 times. (I keep waiting for her to forget her password, but she hasn’t yet.) My daughters enjoyed trying to trick the journal into opening by disguising their voices. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. They equally enjoy setting off the intruder alert.
As a parent, though, I find this product sorely lacking as a journal. For one thing, despite the bulkiness of the case, the actual notebook is quite small and only has about 25 pages. The pages are also unlined, which for the intended age group is a crippling flaw. Younger children depend a lot on lines on the paper when writing. In fact, I don’t think my daughter has done any actual writing in the journal. She has drawn some pictures and has doodled with the invisible ink. Mostly she enjoys playing with the security features and hiding things in the secret compartment.
Bottom line: it's a pretty good toy, highlighted by fun “security” gimmicks, but a poor journal. Even as a toy, I question its staying power, though: my daughter played with it a lot the first couple of days after receiving it, but has barely touched it since.

Somewhat outdated
Date:September 8, 2015
Pros: High quality, Durable
Cons: outdated
The item was durable enough but my daughter wasn't too interested in the style or mechanics of the toy. She claimed the flower scheme is old and would much rather have some sort of digital device over having to hand write.

My daughter flipped for this.
Date:September 3, 2015
Pros: High quality, Durable
Cons: had to run out get batteries right away cause she
My daughter was so excited to get this, I dont know what secerts a almost 9 year old could have but boy she does. She loves the fact her big brother could not read her secerts and couldnt get in it. She loved the intruder alaram that sounded when he would try open it and wouldnt open. I looked up the price and this is defently worth the money.
