Tell
myself that mad is my feeling, and that feelings are
okay.
Tell
the adults, ?I need time out to think before I talk?.
The adults probably do too.
After
I am calm, be proud and happy with myself if I did not
disrespect myself or others during my anger.
If
I did do some disrespecting, sit a bit longer and tell
myself that I made a mistake, but remember that
mistakes can be erased and the right behavior put on.
Write
down some ideas of what a better / correct behavior
would have been and practice it the next time I have a
mad feeling.
Get
back at what I need to do if I can be calm and
respectful around others.
If
I cannot be calm and respectful, then sit a bit longer
to think of when a better time would be to get what I
have to do done. It?s okay to choose quiet time in my
room, just thinking.
It?s
okay to say, ?I?m tired. I?m going to rest or sleep,?
and let the adult know what my plan is to get what I
have to get done.
Write
in a journal or diary.
I
am mad because ...
I
don?t like it when ...
I
wish ...
I
am proud / happy with myself because I was not
disrespectful or ...
Here
is what I think I can do next time ...
