Taming the Storm: Handling Big Feelings

The student will name warning signs of anger, worry and frustration in their body, choose a coping strategy that fits, and use it to calm down before reacting. · 40 min

Warm-up — say this

“Everyone has big feelings. They are normal. Today we will learn how to handle them so they do not handle us.”

Worked example

Ravi's sister grabs the remote while he is watching a show. His face gets hot and his fists squeeze. What feeling is it, and what can he do?

Answer: Anger. He can notice his hot face and fists, take slow breaths or walk away for a minute, and then calmly ask for a turn or get an adult to help.

A mistake students make

Getting angry means I am a bad kid.

How the book fixes it

Explain that feelings are not good or bad; everyone gets angry. What matters is what we choose to do with the feeling.

Note to the parent

Teach strategies when everyone is calm, not in the middle of a meltdown, and model naming your own feelings. If worries or anger feel very big or last a long time, talk with your student's doctor or school counselor.

That is one topic of many. The free questions above check a skill; this is the part that teaches it.

Practice checks. Our life skills workbooks teach.
