Title for Tuesday – It’s a Super-Bad Terrible Day!
Today is Election Day. In the life of our nation, some people have been looking forward to this day with hope and confidence. Others have been dreading this day with apprehension and doubt. Many have simply been waiting to put this day behind them.
In our personal lives, we often view days in these same ways. This reminds me of a Chuck Swindoll quote I heard recently.
Life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.
It can be challenging for adults to remember this truth. Therefore, it’s little wonder children often need help learning to manage their emotions and handle unhappy circumstances.
Virginia Finnie makes this concept the focus of her latest picture book,
It’s a Super-Bad Terrible Day!
This book is filled with unpleasant scenarios to which most school-age children can easily relate: stepping on Legos, tripping in front of classmates, missing a key play in a game, and dealing with siblings. The rhyming text describes typical emotions that accompany each situation—anger, embarrassment, sadness—and suggests positive actions kids might take. This book provides adults and children with lots of talking points about natural reactions and possible responses when negative events occur. If you know a young person who has trouble making positive behavior choices, this book would be a worthwhile read.
