We have been talking about anger lately. We use the comparison of anger to fire because they have a lot in common: 1. The color red, 2. They both can burn or hurt (ourselves or others), 3. They can both spread, 4. We need to do something to contain it or put it out, and 5. Neither anger nor fire are bad- they are both normal and sometimes essential/helpful; it's what we do with them that makes the difference. Over the next few weeks we are focusing on extinguishing our anger fires and body mapping our angry emotions.
Keep an eye out for "anger bracelets/badges" coming home with your little ones as they complete another lesson in their anger workbooks. Now...if it would just stop snowing, we might just be able to get a little work done (the kids love that I tell them that snow days are making my anger fire "flare up").
