Description
Big feelings happen! But hitting or shouting when mad rarely helps. This thoughtful story explores healthier responses when children get big feelings. It uses self-reflection to model safe strategies as a first step to control reactions. Instead of harming others or damaging property, it suggests outlets like stomping feet, ripping paper, or squeezing stress balls. The story validates all emotions while guiding appropriate physical expressions. Mostly it frames self-regulation as a growing skill to feel proud of, like eating independently or reading. Children build skills brick by brick, and guiding emotional responses constructively is a powerful life lesson in this gentle resource.
