The girl in the story goes through a lot of emotions, so we talked about this as we read it. Then, I showed students a picture of their brain and we talked about how these help control our emotions and that there are things we can do to help control our emotions.
We talked about our thoughts, how we can try to control them, but that it's sometimes difficult and then we did a little breathing practice from Cosmic Kids and there are a lot of other mindfulness videos here as well.
Enjoy that relaxation and breathing!
