Helping Children with Shame (Resting in God's Approval) is a 24-page minibook that helps parents and counselors recognize and address the sting of shame in children. Edward T. Welch explains how shame can make children feel unacceptable or different and shows how to connect a childs story of shame to the themes of Scripture so the child can put words to his or her experience and find dignity in Christ.
Drawing on biblical counseling, Welch guides caregivers in offering compassionate, scripture-centered responses that help children understand that Jesus knows their name, clothes them with dignity, and gives them a new reputation. The minibook offers practical language and hope for use in family and counseling settings.
