P.A.C.E. | Helping Your Daughter Navigate Big Emotions

A practical, biblical workbook to equip you to guide your daughter (ages 6-18) through big emotions with wisdom, self-control, and God’s truth.

Does your daughter sometimes become overwhelmed by her emotions? Does she struggle with anger, disappointment, fear, rejection, or frustration? Do you sometimes find yourself unsure of what to say or how to help?

You want to help her navigate those difficult moments, but you don’t always know where to start.

And here’s something important: You don’t have to have it all figured out yourself!

Introducing P.A.C.E. — a practical, faith-based resource from Made Matchless designed to equip YOU to guide your daughter through the ups and downs of her emotional world.

Rather than teaching girls to ignore their feelings or simply follow their hearts, P.A.C.E. helps moms teach their daughters to recognize what they’re experiencing, calm their bodies, examine their thoughts in light of God’s Word, and ultimately make wise, God-honoring choices.

And the best part? You’ll be learning and growing right alongside her!

WHAT IS P.A.C.E.?

P.A.C.E. is a simple, four-step framework that helps girls slow down when big emotions arise so they can respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.

P — PAY ATTENTION

Recognize what’s happening in the body, emotions, and thoughts.

A — ALLOW CALM

Pause and settle the body to help the mind slow down and think more clearly.

C — CONSIDER TRUTH

Examine thoughts honestly and compare them with the truth of God’s Word.

E — ENGAGE WISELY

Consider available options and choose a next step that honors God.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

This isn’t just a collection of activities for your daughter. It’s a guided resource that equips YOU to understand, teach, and practice these concepts with her.

Inside, you’ll explore:

God’s Design for Emotions: Understand why God created us with emotions and how they can provide important information without being allowed to control our decisions.

Her Brain + Her Feelings: Learn about the brain’s emotional alarm system, why big emotions can make thoughtful decision-making more difficult, and how self-control plays an important role.

The P.A.C.E. Framework: Learn each step of the process with practical explanations and a relatable, real-life scenario that walks through all four steps.

When Things Don’t Go as Planned: Discover how to respond with grace when your daughter struggles, makes mistakes, or isn’t ready to open up.

The Bigger Biblical Picture: Explore additional biblical considerations surrounding anger, worry, and your own emotions as a mom.

BONUS RESOURCES INCLUDED!

You’ll also receive practical resources to help you put P.A.C.E. into practice:

• A prayer journaling page for mom.
• A simplified P.A.C.E. reference poster.
• A younger-girl version of the P.A.C.E. poster.
• A mom’s personal emotions reflection chart.
• A corresponding emotions chart for your daughter.
• Scripture references for nine challenging emotions.
• Mother-daughter discussion questions.
• Additional real-life scenarios to practice navigating big emotions together.

These resources are designed to help you revisit the concepts, start meaningful conversations, and practice P.A.C.E. long after you’ve finished reading the workbook.

• You want to help your daughter navigate big emotions from a biblical perspective.
• You sometimes feel unsure how to respond when your daughter is angry, frustrated, anxious, or overwhelmed.

• You want to cultivate meaningful conversations and grow alongside your daughter.
• You recognize that YOU have some emotional patterns worth examining, too!

A NOTE FROM LEAH

I developed P.A.C.E. while working with students who were learning to navigate challenging emotions and make choices that honor God.

I’ve seen how easily girls can become controlled by their feelings, ignore what they’re experiencing, or struggle to know what to do when emotions become overwhelming.

But I’ve also experienced my own struggles with big emotions, and I’ve learned that navigating them wisely is something we all need God’s help with.

My heart is to equip you with practical tools and biblical wisdom so you can walk alongside your daughter through these challenging moments.

You don’t have to be a perfect mom. You don’t have to have all the answers.

You just need a place to start.

Let’s help our girls learn to navigate their emotions while learning to trust God’s wisdom above all.
