Count Yourself Calm: Taking BIG Feelings to a BIG God
Teach children a calming activity that focuses their attention on God and helps them manage big emotions.
This biblical and practical book walks children through a calming activity that helps them focus their attention on God when they experience overwhelming emotions. Using a combination of slow breathing, prayer and focusing on 5 things about God and His good gifts, children will learn to count themselves calm.
Little ones can practise this calming activity while reading the book with adults, and use it whenever they feel upset, sad, angry, worried, anxious or scared. Each prompt is anchored in a Bible verse to remind children of who God is and how much He cares for them.
This resource is a great tool to equip children 4-7 years old to regulate their emotions, and teaches them to cast their cares onto God during challenging moments!
"A sweet, winsome way to point children to the Lord while giving them tangible help in calming strong emotions."
