Dear Jesus, Dear Child: Guided Meditations For Young Children [Paperback]

Children have many fears, many questions, and many concerns. Dear Jesus, Dear Child was designed for caring adults to help children acknowledge their feelings and concerns, and to answer them with love. The twenty topics in this book address some of the most common feelings and situations young children face--jealousy, fighting, love, fear, separation, and pain--as well dealing with seasonal holidays. Each subject features a letter from a child to Jesus and a reply from Jesus to the child. A guided meditation follows, which gives children the opportunity to quietly focus and find Jesus within. Finally, each topic has its own coloring page with space for children to write their own prayer to Jesus. Dear Jesus, Dear Child is suitable for use in the home, classroom, or parish. The content is geared toward children in grades pre-K through third .
