For Parents
Some nights your child is sorting out what it means to be strong, maybe after seeing a bigger kid push or a friend left out. This episode sits in Psalm 10:10 and reshapes the idea, showing that real strength lifts people up instead of knocking them over. Before sleep, you could ask them to picture one person they could help tomorrow with whatever they are good at. Then let them rest, dreaming of being the kind of strong that carries the heavy bag and saves the empty seat.

Questions Kids Ask
What does the Bible say about real strength, for kids?
Psalm 10:10 talks about someone who uses his strength to push weaker people down, but that is not what real strength is for (Psalm 10:10). The best thing strong arms can do is lift someone up, like a big kid helping a little kid reach the sink or carrying a heavy bag for grandma. Whatever you are good at, you can use it to help someone, and that is the strongest thing of all.
