Review: God, I Feel Scared by:Nietert/Fortner

 

About the Book:

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In  God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way.

My Review:

 Children are sometimes shocked that they can rely on God to get them through a lot of the emotions they experience. My children once taught that God is listening to even the smallest or simplest prayer, they began to reach out to Him regularly. Feeling scared is a real emotion and it needs to be addressed almost immediately to help them navigate it. Who wants their child to be terrified constantly? No one!This book teaches children there are different options when we feel scared.

 Whether it be talking to another person or reaching out to God in prayer. Someone can help and we don't have to feel all alone in such a big sometimes frightening world.

 A great read for little's!
