Whether our kids are facing anger, sadness, fear, or joy, emotions are overwhelming, and understanding these feelings requires a higher level of understanding. How can you as a parent, teacher, or guardian teach your kids about emotions in fun, simple ways? Show your kids that emotions are a healthy part of life and were given to us by God for our good with an activity-packed devotional! Big Feelings, Bigger God will equip you and your kids to:
- Identify strong emotions
- Understand and process feelings in healthy ways
- Practically apply Bible principles to emotions
- Find belonging in relating to other kids through true-to-life stories
From social media to virtual learning, there are situations that bring up strong feelings that kids are having to experience for the first time. This 13-week devotional is designed for boys and girls ages 6–9 who are learning how to identify, understand, and handle their ever-changing big emotions. Big Feelings, Bigger God offers young readers (and their families) true-to-life stories that depict the entire range of emotions children (and adults) experience.
