Count Yourself Calm is the first children’s book by author, licensed clinical professional counselor, and certified Biblical counselor, Eliza Huie. This book is a fun and practical tool for helping young children learn self control with their emotions. Count Yourself Calm contains vibrant illustrations that drew my children in. I was so grateful to see my four year old sitting and looking through the book on her own multiple times because she was captivated by its pictures.
The book includes 5 steps for children to take when they are feeling upset. Each step points children to God and this aspect of the book greatly encouraged my heart! The process of counting yourself calm begins by taking a deep breath and praying through Proverbs 3:5. As children go through the steps, they are essentially being trained to take their eyes off their circumstances and direct their gaze to God.
Although this is a book for children, I’ve actually found the 5 steps to be beneficial for me. This is a resource my family will use regularly and we look forward to reading more from Eliza Huie in the future!
I received Count Yourself Calm compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review.
