    This journal has become a quiet tool for big and loud feelings. My pupils are more open and ready to talk.

  • Built for Student Wellbeing

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    These journals offer valuable emotional support for students navigating academic pressure, social change, and growing self-awareness. The guided questions help young people slow down, reflect, and express themselves, something that’s often hard to do on their own. It’s a meaningful tool for building emotional resilience and calm in school life.

  • A calm start to the day

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I’ve started using the journal with my Year 8 tutor group once a week, and it’s made a noticeable difference. The prompts give students a structured but gentle way to reflect, which is rare in a busy school environment. It encourages quieter pupils to explore their thoughts, and helps create space for calm before lessons begin.

  • Engaging and Stimulating

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    My sister is always complaining that my nephew is always on his phone, so I wanted to gift him something different, something engaging and stimulating. The Ilho Sunshine journal sparked his curiosity and helped him focus on his creative talents. It's also the perfect gift for tech-savvy kids! lol

    Michael - Uncle of a 12-year-old

  • Children feel seen and heard

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    What I love about this journal is how accessible it is. Children aren’t always ready to talk, but the questions and activities help them open up in a safe and creative way. I’ve used it in sessions and at home recommendations, and it’s always met with curiosity and engagement.

Meet Ilho: The Heart & Mind Behind the Journal

Hi, my name is Ilhora-Lee BCyA, the founder of Ilho Sunshine.

What began as my own reflection journey is now helping young people all over the world shine from the inside out.
