About This Book
When children are hurting, a significant step in the healing process lies in M
teaching kids to recognize and name their emotions. That is the purpose of this
book. In reading about, and thinking about, each of the emotions contained in
y
this book, children will begin to recognize what is going on inside and be able to
express that to other people. Recognizing these feeling does not equate to f
closure, but in talking about these feelings, they can find a measure of healing. E
This book was originally envisioned as a book for children of divorce and was
E
developed as a joint venture between two organizations related to Hope 4 l
Hurting Kids (I Am A Child of Divorce and Divorce Ministry 4 Kids). Part of the i
battle every child faces during, and following, the divorce of their parents is
dealing with the intense emotions that accompany that time in their lives.
N
G
Although this workbook was originally planned for children of divorce, we S
quickly realized the value in recognizing and naming emotions for all types of
children facing all types of challenges and difficulties in their lives. We’ve heard
from people all over the globe who have used this workbook with all types of
w
children who are learning how to express themselves, dealing with emotional
o
trauma, or struggling with what they’re feeling inside. We’ve also been r
pleasantly surprised by the number of teens and even for adults using the
workbook for similar reasons.
K
b
We all deal with emotions every day of our lives (both our own and those of the o
people we come into contact with). This workbook can help you, and them, to o
start the conversation and hopefully to begin down the path towards hope and
healing.
