Everyone feels angry sometimes, and that’s okay! Anger is a strong feeling that can happen when things don’t go the way we want. It’s important to know how to express anger in a way that doesn’t hurt ourselves or others.
There are many ways people show they are angry. Some might have a tantrum, which means they might stomp their feet or throw things. Others might cry because they feel upset. Some people might yell or shout when they are angry.
Did you know that feeling angry is just as important as feeling happy? Negative emotions like anger help us understand what we don’t like or what is unfair. They can help us learn more about ourselves and what we need.
It’s important to find good ways to handle anger. Here are some ideas:
When we learn to handle our anger in a healthy way, we can feel better and solve problems more easily. Remember, it’s okay to feel angry, but it’s important to express it in a way that is safe and kind.
Let’s make an “Anger Monster” to help us understand our feelings! Draw a monster on a piece of paper. Every time you feel angry, add something to your monster, like a new color or shape. This can help you see how your anger changes and grows.
Remember, everyone gets angry sometimes, and that’s perfectly normal. The key is to find ways to express it that help you feel better and keep everyone safe.
Emotion Charades: Gather your friends or family and play a game of charades using different emotions. Take turns acting out emotions like anger, happiness, or sadness without using words, and let others guess which emotion you are showing. This will help you understand how emotions can be expressed in different ways.
Feelings Journal: Start a feelings journal where you can draw or write about your emotions each day. Whenever you feel angry, draw a picture or write a few words about what made you feel that way and how you handled it. This will help you recognize your emotions and think about healthy ways to express them.
Calm Down Bottle: Create a “calm down bottle” using a clear plastic bottle, water, glitter, and glue. Shake the bottle when you feel angry and watch the glitter settle as you take deep breaths. This can help you calm down and think about how to express your anger in a safe way.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“We can express anger in many different ways, for example, through a tantrum, crying, or yelling. Negative emotions are just as necessary as positive ones.”
