  • For children who are showing anger, upset and frustration, an emotion  scale can be used to help children regulate their feelings. All emotions are acceptable and apart of life. It’s important to think about how we manage them.  

    Ask children to think about what makes them feel this way for each number and think about ways to stop 3, 4 & 5 continue or having an impact on others I.e. count to 10, breath in and out slowly, walk away to another room, silent time alone, drawing, writing in a calm book, colouring. Decide with your child the best way.
