Can I take a moment
to talk about your children…
or maybe your grandchildren…
or maybe the children in your classroom?
I was studying in the SNU library recently
when I saw a children’s book that caught my attention:
The Worrysaurus.
Since my head and heart have been thinking
about worry and anxiety lately,
this book seemed like a good way
to procrastinate and not do the work
I was actually supposed to be doing.
(Do you ever procrastinate like that?)
Last month’s blog mentioned the stunning observation
that the average child today
exhibits the same level of anxiety
as the average psychiatric patient of the 1950s.
Double Wow!!!!!
Maybe you have a young one in your family
who tends to overthink themselves into worry.
This children’s book might be a helpful way
to create conversations with your young ones
about a topic they may not know how to process.
The Worrysaurus is a story for today's young readers,
with reassuring, lighthearted text
and charming illustrations
sure to calm the anxious butterflies
in any child's tummy.
With a little help from his mom,
Worrysaurus finds a way to soothe the anxious butterflies,
chase his fears away,
and find peace and happiness in the moment at hand.
This is the perfect book to help
every little anxious Worrysaurus
let go of their fears,
and feel happy in the moment at hand!
The Worrysaurus strikes just the right balance of
positive, lighthearted, rhyming text
that can help your child
who has a tendency to be over-anxious?
It might even offer some new language
to talk with your young ones
about your own butterflies.
I invite you to use this form to share your prayer request with me.
