Some of my favorite tools to help families stay faithful. My Favorite Things Over the years I have collected lots of helpful resources to help families engage in both the home and in communities of faith. I am here to help you use these resources as you have important faith interactions every day. These are just the starting points. How to Talk to Children Based on Age Children Now: Tips for talking with kids about tough issues Topics include Sex & Relationships, Violence, Race, Terrorism, Divorce, and more. National Association for School Psychologist Resources Helping Kids with Tragic Events in the News (PBS) Paediatric Chaplaincy Network We are a group of multi faith religious and spiritual care staff and volunteers. Includes videos, stories, and worship recommendations. The Dougy Center The Dougy Center provides a safe place for children, teens, young adults and their families who are grieving a death to share their experiences through peer support groups, education, and training. Carenotes: Elf Help Books for Kids and other Elf Help Resource These books and pamphlets provide a wide variety of children's stories and resources to help them, parents, families, and pastors during a difficult situation. Conscious Discipline Conscious Discipline has fostered a fundamental shift in thinking that empowers adults and children to be the change they want to see in the world. Quick Reminder from Sesame Street: What to say when your child says, “I’m scared!” 2 years old or younger: Let your child know it’s okay to feel scared. Even more than words, young children need tangible reassurance. Try providing your child with a comfort item to hold on to, and keep her close at hand. Lots of hugs help, too! 3 TO 5: “It’s OK to feel scared. Can you tell Mommy why you’re scared? Mommy loves you, and I will be here to keep you safe.” 6 TO 11: Start by asking your child what she already knows about what has happened and how she’s feeling, so you know how to address her particular concerns. Reassure her that it’s okay to be scared, but that she is safe and will be cared for.” Storybook Bibles, Bibles & Other Shopping Toddler Bible Stories Baby's Tiny Bible and Prayers: Mini Boxed Set Children of God Storybook Bible by Archbishop Desmond Tutu Frolic and Holy Moly Sparkhouse Bibles (Available for different ages) Younger Elementary Bible Stories Sparkhouse Bibles (Available for different ages) Whirl and Spark Older Elementary Story Bibles: Shine Bible Shine Bible (Spanish) Music Butterflyfish - 'Great and Small' (indie/folk) SALT Project Butterflyfish - 'Ladybug' (indie/folk) SALT Project Bryan Sirchio: Bugs for Lunch Bryan Sirchio: Worms in the Bread Justin Roberts: Why Not See Monsters?: Songs from the New Testament Justin Roberts: Why Not Sea Monsters?: Songs from the Hebrew Scriptures Slugs and Bugs Children's Books I believe everyone can learn from Children's Books!
