Feelings, Emotions, and Spiritual Jiujitsu with Kennedy Straub

If you have children, this episode is worth every minute. Kennedy Straub, Josh and Christi’s beloved daughter, joins the show to talk about how she’s learning to navigate emotions and feelings through the lens of an 11-year-old. In this episode, we continue season 6 on Relational Intelligence in Kids by talking about the difference between emotions and feelings. For example, did you know that emotions keep you safe and feelings keep you aware? Or that one of them causes you “to move” or take action? Kennedy also shares the tools she’s using to identify feelings and emotions in her life, what kids need from their parents in their uncomfortable feelings, and how her version of “spiritual jiujitsu” is helping her navigate those BIG feelings in prayer. Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 2:25 The difference between feelings and emotions 6:38 An introduction to all things Kennedy 9:40 Iceberg of emotions through the eyes of an 11-year-old 13:40 Tools to identify the emotions under the iceberg 17:04 What kids need from parents in their uncomfortable emotions 24:08 Kennedy’s analogy for Jesus helping with emotions Show Notes:Sign up for a free trial of KidsRQ! https://www.kidsrq.comJoin KidsRQ at the Founding Members rate: https://www.kidsrq.comIf you’re interested in a marriage you love, fill out this form: https://www.famousathome.com/loveyourmarriageDownload NONAH's single Find My Way Home by clicking here: https://bellpartners.ffm.to/findmywayhome
