Practical, fun tool for parents raising kids. Encourages obedience and emotional health, motivated by God’s love and grace.
Part of the Training Young Hearts series.
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 (or feel). He can forgive us when we fail and help us to change.
Parents, teachers, and other loved ones can refer back to these resources when behaviors need to be corrected or big feelings pop up. They help provide a response that connects 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.
This book is a delight. Probably as helpful to the parent reading it as the child hearing it.
I love the Training Young Hearts series for kids. These are concrete, practical, gospel-centered books that will help young children make meaningful connections. What great resources for parents and educators!
This Training Young Hearts series is my 21-month old’s FAVORITE. And I was so thrilled to see a brand new addition on feelings (releases June 3)!
We have lots of feelings in this house of 4 young kids and 2 parents - and I absolutely love the way @abbeywedgeworth walks us through this tricky subject. It’s a mini-theology on emotions.
Feelings are real - even such feelings of hunger or tiredness. But feelings should not control how we act or tell us what is true.
And yet…when we do let feelings control us, we can ask for forgiveness and receive it because Jesus died for our sins and rose again. And He is ready to forgive.
I am grateful for the opportunity to be telling these truths to myself as well as my kids, every time we read this book.
