If you’ve been listening to this podcast for any time at all, you know that one of my core beliefs is that in moments of emotional turmoil, the best thing we can do for our kids is to BE the calm that they need.Rather them tell them “calm down,” we show them what calm looks like and let them catch the calm from us.But what do you do if you DON’T feel calm? What if you, the parent, need a little bit of help finding calm yourself?This episode is for you. We’re going through six tools that have helped us in moments of high emotion. And we’re seeing these tools work for our kids as well.The coolest part is that each of these physical tools for body regulation is also a spiritual symbol of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.Join us as we talk about how sunlight, water, grounding, food, song, and the stars can give you the solace you and your kids need in moments of trouble.Scripture References:John 8:12Malachi 4:2John 4:141 Corinthians 10:41 Corinthians 3:11John 6:35Matthew 9:15Resources Mentioned:The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. Scripture Scouts
