A story about Anger
for your Kindergartener.
In a small town, there lived an adventurous boy named Michael. He loved puzzles and was known for his skill at solving them. One day, he discovered an old treehouse with a magical, ancient puzzle left by the town's founders.
Michael was thrilled. He climbed up the treehouse and started working on the puzzle. But it was harder than any puzzle he had ever encountered. He tried and tried, but he couldn't solve it.
Michael's excitement turned into frustration. He felt a hot, angry feeling bubbling up inside of him. He was so angry that he accidentally broke a piece of the puzzle.
Michael was shocked. He had let his anger get the best of him. He realized that he needed to find a way to calm down and not let his anger control him.
Michael took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and imagined himself in a peaceful place. When he opened his eyes, he felt calmer.
Michael looked at the broken piece of the puzzle. He felt sad, but he knew he couldn't undo what he had done. He decided to apologize to the town's founders in his heart and promised to be more careful in the future.
Michael realized that it was okay to feel angry, but it was not okay to let his anger cause harm. He decided to talk to his parents about his feelings.
"Mom, Dad, I got really angry today," Michael confessed. His parents listened carefully and reassured him that it was okay to feel angry, but it was important to express it in a way that didn't hurt others or himself.
