The lesson “Dealing with Worry, Fear, and Anxiety” teaches children to monitor and regulate feelings to aid rather than impede in the handling of life and life situations. Each child will name at least one thing that causes worry, fear, or anxiety. The children brainstorm how Jesus wants each child to respond to feeling anxious or fearful, verbalizing the fact that God is bigger than whatever is causing the negative emotion. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 6-8 years, and is the sixth lesson in the 2nd Year “Emotional Development” unit.
