Book Cover & Preview Text
YOU GOT THIS I want to encourage you as a caregiver in this journey of exploring emotions and God's word with the help of this book. You, too, are not alone. Many have gone before you and have raised their kids in the way of the Lord. You may find your own heart and emotions in this book as you lead your child through it. I want to empower you to stay present and vulnerable with yourself, your child, and God. Holy Spirit is our comforter and our teacher and He will walk with you through His word. Remember, He knows both you and your child inside and out and He deeply cares for you. I encourage you to read the Psalm aloud and to experience the song together. There are so many concepts, assumptions, or words you can define together or engage with more. Don't try to do this on your own. Let God speak to you and your child in your reading, sharing, and in the questions. GOD, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR BELOVED SONS AND DAUGHTERS WHO SEEK TO KNOW YOU BETTER AND RAISE THEIR CHILDREN IN YOUR WAYS! I ASK YOU TO SPEAK CLEARLY, SHOW MERCY, AND BLESS THEM ABUNDANTLY, AMEN.

About the Book
Everyone feels. From the time we are young children, our feelings play a significant role in how we interact with the world around us and how we remember our experiences. Toddlers and their grownups can often feel overwhelmed with navigating powerful emotions. This book is designed to help caregivers and children explore their emotions together, learn to name and identify different feelings, and most importantly, find comfort and connection with their Creator in the midst of it all. Each page presents a relatable scenario and encourages the child to share their emotions and facial expressions, while also providing the caregiver with helpful questions to better understand the child’s perspective and prompts to model emotional courage. In this collaborative sharing, the child experiences that they are not alone. The Psalms, written thousands of years ago, offer a powerful example of how people have long expressed their feelings and found a deeper connection with God and their faith. This book invites child and caregiver to practically engage with their emotions and experience validation and guidance through the Psalmists.
