Springtime never disappoints. New life shoots through the earth and manifests in budding trees, flowering plants, and so much sunshine! Coming out of the darkness of winter is both a physical and an emotional process. Sometimes kids can get stuck in the dark “winter” of their feelings.  

Spring is a great time to get your daughter outdoors, into the transformative light of the sun and breathing fresh air. Whether she has cabin fever or is just feeling a bit down, experiencing God’s creation up close might be just the thing to raise her spirits.  

Try taking a walk together, beginning and ending with some deep breathing exercises. Stop along the way and read a favorite verse. Capture a moment with a photo that you both can cherish for years to come.
