How it works
It is okay to feel angry, because every feeling is okay.
What we do next is what matters.
Kit breathes slowly, squeezes a soft pillow and tells a grown-up.
Worked examples
Smell the flower, blow the candle
- Breathe in slowly, as if you are smelling a flower.
- Breathe out slowly, as if you are blowing out a candle.
- Do it again, and feel your hot face grow cool.
Squish the pillow
- Squeeze a soft pillow: squish, squish!
- Let go, and feel your tight paws loosen.
- Squeezing a pillow is a safe way to let the angry out.
Tell it
- Say how you feel: I am angry, because my puzzle piece is gone.
- Your grown-up says, thank you for telling me.
- Then look for the piece together.
