Tyrell Visits Jail: A Dr. Thinkenshine Classic

By Dr. Thinkenshine and Judi Love Bowman

Tyrell is a bright, active young boy who loves his family, swimming, karate, church, and learning. He has also learned that following rules matters. When Tyrell was younger, his parents used a "time out" chair to help him understand the consequences of not following instructions. But one day, Tyrell learns that adults can have consequences, too. When Tyrell's father, Lyrell, breaks the law, he must serve time in jail. Tyrell still loves his dad very much, but now visiting Dad means taking a long car ride, riding a bus, going through security, and entering a jail visitation room. At first, Tyrell is a little scared. Over time, however, he learns that love can remain strong even when families face difficult circumstances. Through Tyrell's experience, young readers are encouraged to think about choices, rules, consequences, forgiveness, family relationships, and making positive changes.

With warmth, humor, faith, and age-appropriate storytelling, Tyrell Visits Jail reminds children that:
- Everyone makes mistakes.
- Choices have consequences. -
Loving someone does not mean approving of every choice they make. -
Families can continue to love and support one another during difficult times.
- We can ask God for forgiveness and choose to change.
- A mistake does not have to be the end of the story.
- There is always hope for a new beginning.

Most importantly, Dr. Thinkenshine reminds children that God loves them, believes in them, and has great plans for their lives.

Tyrell Visits Jail is a thoughtful conversation starter for families, educators, children's ministries, counselors, and anyone helping children understand incarceration, consequences, forgiveness, and second chances.
