by Justine Froelker


About the Book

The perfect blend of mental health know-how and biblical truths, 100 Devotions for Kids Dealing with Anxiety offers a variety of strategies, peaceful journal prompts, and reflective Scriptures that will help tweens and teens feel Jesus’ love. Written by Certified Daring Way™ & Dare to Lead™ Facilitator Justine Froelker, these daily devotionals will assist in helping children handle their anxiety.

Life with anxiety is like a rollercoaster, with good days and bad days, but with constant assurance of God's love your child will be able to manage their anxiety. This devotional meets children where they are by equipping them with the resources to develop a deeper relationship with God and empowering young minds to embrace everything that makes them who they are. With Scripture passages, devotional readings, and journal prompts, children will have access to the tools, tricks, and tips on the best ways to face anxiety issues.

Tweens and teens, ages 8 to 13, will:

  • feel empowered by the devotions and the daily Scripture references
  • respond to prompts by writing on ruled lines for deeper reflection
  • understand that anxiety issues are not something that should be hidden
  • identify how to better handle their anxiety on a day-to-day basis

Even on the most challenging days your child can reflect on these inspirational devotions and find the strength and courage to say they are not broken, they don’t need to be fixed, that they are loved.

This Will Pass by Joy Donnini

This Will Pass
Joy Donnini
Illustrated by Luke Scriven
Bushel & Peck Books
9781638190899 HC
May 2022
$17.99/$22.95 Can.
40 Pages/8 x 10/Ages 3 to 6



A charming reminder that even the worst things don't last forever. 

"Unlike many picture books that seek to comfort young audiences by assuring them that their apprehensions are unfounded, Donnini’s quiet prose shows readers that worry is a feeling as valid as any other . . . the world is an increasingly worrisome place, and books like this one, that offer simple acknowledgement of this fact, are just as essential as those that offer elaborate escape. Timely assurance of the impermanence of life’s difficulties." —Kirkus Reviews

It's time for little Crue's first big adventure with his Great Uncle Ollie, but he can't help but worry: What if the boat breaks? Or an octopus swallows them in one gulp? Or a family of whales takes over the boat? It seems the worries will follow him around forever until Great Uncle Ollie squeezes his hand and shares his secret mantra: Keep calm, it will pass. Through storms . . . Keep calm, it will pass . . . past sharks . . . Keep calm, it will pass . . . even through a pirate attack . . . Keep calm, it will pass . . . Great Uncle Ollie's mantra keeps Crue afloat—until it's time for a solo journey of his own.

For kids who worry or stress over life's troubles, This Will Pass is a welcome lesson in mindful patience.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment brings you King Tweety, a brand-new animated film featuring Looney Tunes beloved characters Tweety and Sylvester on Digital/DVD June 14.

His Little Highness’ entourage includes motorbike daredevil Granny and sly Sylvester, whose allegiance is tested when he uncovers a sinister plot to eliminate Tweety for good! Feathers and fur will fly in this hilarious story that proves royalty – and loyalty – can come in many shapes and sizes.

Synopsis

Charley flashback to an incident in college where Katherine destroyed their room and threw a surprise party for Charley. She was upset about the surprise but listened to Katherine’s advice to pivot. Katherine is again surprising her and she’s asking for advice on whether it's time for her to pivot again? Or what’s next.
New client is Randall - he’s in a lot of pain, disheveled. He is violent, self-harms and he needs to be restrained. He’s a homeless, addicted veteran who served in Vietnam. He is experiencing PTSD and seeing things.

Scott, the hospice house manager, wants to keep Randall at the house against all the nurses' advice.
Charley, Janey and Scott discover that Randall has a daughter, Deb, and reunites them.
Randall shares his combat experience with Charley and she shares God’s mercy and compassion with him.
The staff organized a wedding for Deb so Randall could be there.

In her conversation with God, she asks for His guidance to help Katherine and for the courage to do what He is asking of her.

Themes

Veteran issues: drug addiction, homelessness, PTSD, combat experience
Death with dignity for Randall, in repayment for allowing other veterans to slip through the cracks
Treat others as we would want to be treated – no one had shown Randall any compassion for a long time and he responded well when Charley assessed him
Broken father-daughter relationship – shame over past actions and decisions
The burden caregivers carry when helping ailing family members
