Emotions: Anger, loneliness mindfulness, calm

Watch out! Simon's anger is out of control. The very first time he gets mad, his anger manifests into a ram, charging after anything that made Simon mad. Each new instance of Simon's anger transforms the creature into another large, aggressive animal until he finally becomes so full of anger that no one wants to play with him anymore. Yelling the anger away only seems to make it stronger so Simon decides to sit down until calm spreads through his whole body.

An excellent tool for discussing why we get angry, what happens when we feed that anger, and one way to manage it (calming the body down and practicing a form of visual release). Extensive back material for parents and teachers help adults discuss this common human emotion with children including the role of parents and teachers, using this book at home with your child, using this book in a group, follow-up activities, and teaching children mindfulness.
