I like to feel in charge of some things.
I might feel sad or frustrated when things don&`&t go my way,
or when I can&`&t have or do something I want.
Or I might feel hurt if someone doesn&`&t show respect.
I may feel angry, too.
I might have a hot face, tense muscles, a fast heartbeat, or loud breathing.
sometimes I feel like exploding with my hands, feet, or mouth!
But hitting, kicking, and using mean words can hurt people and their feelings.
That&`&s not okay.
Losing my temper won&`&t help me or anyone else.
It can cause more anger and hurt.
Keeping my anger shut inside me won&`&t make things better, either.
All of my feelings are okay.
I can admit when I feel angry.
I can learn from my anger, and find a way to work through it.
