Your Kids, the Easter Story, and Talking About Difficult Emotions

Published: Feb. 23, 2023, 6:15 a.m.

Not only is the message of Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection difficult to translate to children, but the events leading up to Jesus\u2019 death were full of emotions for His family, disciples, and all who followed Him. The happiness on Palm Sunday, the surprise at the Last Supper, the sadness at the cross, the joy at the tomb\u2014the week of Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection was filled with emotion.\xa0 And that\u2019s what gave us the idea: What if we used the emotions\xa0they were feeling two-thousand-years-ago to help our kids connect to the Easter story in a way that brings the resurrection of Jesus \u201calive\u201d to our kids. See what we did there ;) In this episode, we talk about our new book, 10 Days of the Easter Story, and how we as parents can help our kids connect to and learn about their own feelings through the events of Holy Week.\xa0 We talk about:

  • How to process grief as a family and sit in sadness while remaining hopeful
  • Emotional vocabulary in the home and how to make it inviting, not threatening
  • The power of thinking, feeling, and relating at the same time
