Tom is trying to do his homework but his sister has been practicing the same song forever. His stomach is starting to hurt and he's thinking, "Why won't she shut up?".
What can he do? What can he say?
Good ideas!
He could also ask for a break. He could play outside or listen to music with headphones until his sister is finished.
Julie is playing a game with her friends, but they keep changing the rules and it is making her mad. She can feel her teeth clenching in her mouth and her hands are fists.
What can she do? What can she say?
Awesome suggestion!
She could squeeze lemons and take a deep breath. She could tell her friend how she is feeling, or ask to play a new game.
Simon is playing musical chairs with his friends. He didn't get a chair this time, and now he is out. His thoughts are getting messy and he's about to cry. What can he do? What can he say?
I like your idea!
He could also do a cat stretch and ask if he can read by himself until the game is done.
