Helping Our Kids Overcome Jealousy Through Faith, Music, and Fun
Featuring the YayaPlayzIt Song: “Don’t Be Jealous” (Powered by Mrs. Raven)
As parents, we want our children to grow up confident, content, and secure in who God created them to be. Yet one of the earliest emotional challenges many children face is jealousy. From wanting what others have to feeling overlooked, jealousy can quietly creep into a child’s heart and affect their behavior, mood, and relationships.
Children often don’t have the words to express these feelings, which is why teaching emotional awareness in a gentle and engaging way is so important. This is where music becomes such a powerful tool.
YayaPlayzIt, powered by Mrs. Raven, is a kids’ YouTube channel created to help children learn important life and faith lessons through fun, engaging songs. One of those songs, “Don’t Be Jealous,” teaches kids how to recognize jealous feelings and choose gratitude, joy, and kindness instead.
Through bright visuals, catchy lyrics, and relatable scenarios, the song helps children understand that everyone is blessed in different ways—and that comparison steals joy. It also reassures kids that they are special just the way God made them.
The Bible warns us about the effects of jealousy:
“A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”
Proverbs 14:30 (NIV)
When children learn to celebrate others instead of comparing themselves, they develop healthier friendships and stronger self-confidence. “Don’t Be Jealous” gives parents a faith-filled opportunity to start conversations at home about gratitude, contentment, and God’s unique plan for each child.
Parents can reinforce the lesson by asking:
What makes you special?
How can we thank God for what we have?
How can we be happy for others when they’re blessed?
Scripture reminds us that God intentionally created each child:
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
Psalm 139:14 (NIV)
👉 We encourage families to watch the “Don’t Be Jealous” video together on the YayaPlayzIt YouTube channel, powered by Mrs. Raven. It’s a joyful, faith-based way to help kids grow emotionally and spiritually.
