What if your emotions were really people? What sort of
conversations would they have when it came to a new situation? And what if,
like many clergy families, moving house was a difficult change you had to deal
with? Well, in Inside Out, this is exactly
what 11-year-old Riley has to tackle as her family moves to a new city for her
dad’s work. She leaves so much that is familiar and we get a front row seat to
the way her mind grapples with this.

This is an excellent movie for understanding the range of
emotions children, and indirectly parents, can have as they move home: an
excellent resource for those wanting to understand the emotionally challenging
world of the frequently relocating clergy family. As we travel along with Riley on her
difficult journey we discover how she feels about what’s happening, and why it’s
important to listen to these feelings.

I hope you get the opportunity to see this movie. You’ll
laugh, may need a couple of tissues, and will see a great story about change and emotions, and understanding them from the
inside out.
Cheers,
Matt (PK Place Leader)
