Raising Emotionally Healthy Kidsনমুনা

Day 4 | Happiness

We all want to be happy! As adults, it can be easy to forget that God is part of the happy parts of our life. As parents, we can help to remind our kids that God brings us happiness. We can also lead them to express thankfulness to God for their happiness like this:

• Help your kids to understand that their happiness is from God and part of his plan! Encourage them to thank God for the things in their life that are making them happy. They can do this by thanking God in prayer, singing worship songs, or using their happiness to serve others
• Celebrate your kid’s happiness by taking notice of what has led them to this emotion. Then invite them to share their joy with others. This selflessness is a reflection of the love of Jesus!

Prayer: Dear God, thank you for the ways you bring us joy! Be with me as I celebrate with my kids. Help us as we connect our joy to you. Thank you for the incredible things you do. Amen.
