Emotions are Temporary

Normalizing Emotions

Feeling emotions such as sadness, anger, or joy is natural. It is normal to want to shout, cry, or laugh.

Managing Emotions

Suggestions to calm down include: - Seeking hugs or comfort from loved ones - Playing games - Going to a quiet place (like your room) until calm returns - Talking about what is wrong to help calm down faster
