MY FAVORITE SUPERHERO
A Book for Christian Parents
Key Points and Ideas:
Creating the book for parents and children:
Not just for the author's own children but to provide all Christian parents a foundation with an engaging, inspiring, and fun book about Jesus.
A real superhero for children to look up to, unlike fictional ones like Batman or Superman.
Introducing Jesus as a calming influence:
For parents, Jesus serves as a source of calm during chaotic times.
Offers strategies for bedtime routines and tools to help rowdy kids settle down, like deep breathing and focusing on their hearts while talking to Jesus.
Jesus as a model for behavior:
Teaching children to ask, "What would Jesus do?"
Encouraging them to make choices that are kind and loving—"What's the Jesus choice?"
Helping families regulate emotions:
Combining teachings about Jesus with techniques for emotional regulation, such as deep breathing and mindful responses.
Using these tools to calm the chaos at home and foster a more peaceful environment.
Building resilience and emotional tools:
Providing parents with exercises, techniques, and strategies to help their children become more emotionally resilient.
Acknowledging the lack of resources for teaching emotional resilience and addressing it through the book.
Fostering independence and faith:
Teaching children that they are never alone, even when parents aren’t present.
Instilling the understanding that Jesus is always with them, helping them feel secure and confident in difficult situations.
Encouraging foundational values:
Instilling core lessons from Jesus—love, kindness, compassion—to help children grow into good human beings.
Providing a foundation of faith and tools for success in life.
Vision for future resources:
Expanding the series to offer more techniques, ideas, and exercises for parents.
Creating materials to further equip families with resources to foster both faith and emotional growth.
Ultimate goal:
Help children grow up into good human beings by laying a strong foundation of faith and resilience.
Ensure they carry the lessons of Jesus throughout their lives, into adulthood, as a source of strength and guidance.
