飞飞妈, 一直是你关于RDI的忠实读者. 刚才恰巧在网上看到一篇关于控制情绪的social story,希望对飞飞会有所帮助.
Being Angry is Okay:
It's Important What I Do and Say
It's okay to feel angry. All people feel angry now and then. As children become older, they learn safe ways to handle anger. This is very, very, very, very, very important. Handling anger responsibly helps to keep everyone safe.
It's important to keep thinking when angry. Some people may forger to think about the right thing to do when they are angry. They may make mistakes with their anger. It is a good thing that as people get older they learn to make good choices EVEN WHILE THEY ARE ANGRY. This, of course, is a very mature and grown-up thing to do.
Even when children are very, very, very, very, very angry they can learn to keep thinking so that they make good choices. Knowing what to think is important. Here are three things that mature, intelligent children like me learn to think when they are angry:
1. I will not be angry for long. I spend more time happy than I do angry. I will feel happy once again.
2. There is a solution to this problem. Talking to others is really the only good way to find these solutions.
3. It's possible to have a bad time during a good day. Sometimes children feel angry or sad for a short time, but they know the good day will return. This is especially true when children make good choices while angry.
When I am angry, I can choose from this list what to say or do:
1. Take deep breaths or a break. Experts on anger say that taking deep breaths or a walk increases oxygen to the brain, making it easier to think and make good choices.
2. Use words to let others know I am angry. I may tell others I am angry by talking or writing things down.
3. Keep other people and things safe at all times. This means keeping my hands, feet, and fingers safely under my control.
Sometimes, children make serious mistakes with anger. They may decide to kick or hit other people. They may decide to throw things. Sometimes very, very young children do this. These very young children think hitting and kicking will let everyone know how angry they are. When a child gets older, and they still kick or hit, people wonder why that child is deciding to do what usually only very young children do. By the time children are in third grade, they make very calm, intelligent, safe decisions when they are angry. They stay in control ALL of the time. I am learning to do this, too. More and more, I stay calm and keep thinking and working with others when I am angry. This is a very intelligent and mature thing to do!
