The United Methodist Women present this study as we work to live out our vision, in part which states "faith, hope, and love in action on behalf of women children and youth around the world."  This study is based on the book Managing Our Emotions, by Dr. Trudy Rankin.  

We feel that our witness to the most vulnerable segments of our society, our children, is very much needed at this time. This text, written long before the pandemic, focuses on anxiety and stress children are encountering and is quite timely.  

Below are the links to all 4 sessions of this study:

Session 1 - Learning About Our Feelings

Session 2 - Anxiety and Sadness

Session 3 - Fear and Frustration

Session 4 - Finding Power and Helping Others

This study is designed for Elementary age children (Pre-K to 5th grade).  It also can be modified for rising 6th graders.
