Why Transitions Are Tough for Little Ones
Transitions can be tricky for pre-schoolers. New routines, environments, and faces might overwhelm them. Understanding these emotional shifts is crucial. Kids this age thrive in familiar settings, so changes can seem scary. But with a little divine help, your child can feel secure and loved during these times.
Remember: Providing support and reassurance during periods of change can make a significant difference in a child’s emotional well-being.
Verse 1: God’s Promise to Never Leave
Deuteronomy 31:6 says, Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. This verse assures kids that God is always by their side. Share this with your little one to remind them that they are never alone.
Verse 2: Be Strong and Courageous
‘Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.’ (Joshua 1:9)
Use this verse to boost your preschooler’s confidence. It tells them that bravery is a choice, backed by divine presence.
Verse 3: Let the Little Children Come
Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.‘ (Matthew 19:14)
This verse highlights how much Jesus values children. Ensuring your child knows they are priceless in God’s eyes can bolster their self-worth.
