A special thanks to LifeWay for
sending a complimentary copy of Dr Josh and Christi Straub’s book,
What Am I Feeling?
What Am I Feeling? is an excellent resource for teaching children
about emotions. Feelings are such an abstract concept and it can be a challenge
to talk about them. However, this book is a terrific aid! With colorful
illustrations and a storyline that all children can identify with, What Am I Feeling? will provide a great
springboard for parents to delve into the topic of emotions. I especially
appreciated that the authors emphasized that feelings are just feelings and are
not in control of us as humans. Also, they sought to lead children to
dependence on the Lord by including that they should talk to Him about what
they are feeling and seek His wisdom as to what to do with that emotion. There’s
even a chart included in the back of the book with additional emotions that
parents can use to continue the conversation with their children. I highly
recommend What Am I Feeling? for
children!
