Helping Kids Handle Grief and Change - Spiritually Fit Today

Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and his guest this week, Mrs. Thimijan. In this episode we gently explore how to support preschoolers facing divorce, death, or major family crises. We emphasize presence, listening, one‑on‑one prayer, and grounding little ones in the assurance of God’s care, using Proverbs 22:6 as our guiding memory verse. 4 R action steps: - Read: Read Proverbs 22:6. - Reflect: Consider how you can prioritize heart care—presence, eye contact, listening—rather than trying to resolve every “why.” - Respond (short prayer): Lord, in times of pain, be close to our children. Help us guide and protect their hearts, remind them You are near, and give us wisdom to love them well. Amen. - Reveal: Demonstrate this truth by finding a safe space to pray one‑on‑one with a child, read a comforting Bible story together, and show consistent love and reassurance that God is with them.
