Fun lift-the-flap board book that helps small children to deal with their emotions in a healthy way.

This helpful and engaging training tool will help parents to teach their kids that God made them with feelings. Emotions can tell us when to ask for help or when we need a rest. Even better, they help us love God! We can always share our feelings with Jesus. But we don't need to let our emotions control us.

Not only will children be encouraged to follow Jesus’ example, but they’ll also be reassured that he loves us no matter what we do. He can forgive us when we fail, and help us to change.

This book is part of a series called Training Young Hearts, that addresses the attitudes of the heart that underpin behavior and explains how the gospel of grace enables us to change.

Parents, teachers, and other loved ones can refer back to these resources when specific behaviors need both to be corrected and to be connected to forgiveness, grace and growth.

As a mama to 6 boys, I would have loved this book in their little years! What Are Feelings For? is a wonderful resource for helping your child understand their emotions and look to Jesus as their ultimate example. ~Ruth Chou Simons, Artist and author of GraceLaced; founder of gracelaced.com

One of the most important ways we can train young children is to teach them what is right as well as teach them what is wrong. In the Training Young Hearts series Abbey Wedgeworth faithfully shows children how to live while also telling them the good news of God’s grace. These board books are such an engaging (and fun!) way to teach big truths to young hearts.  ~ Melissa Krueger, Women’s Ministry Coordinator, Uptown Church
