This book will help me keep calm.

When Im angry or upset there are three things I
can try.
4
I can stop and think!
Think before I do anything! Take a time out!
5
I need to take three deep breaths!
Take time to relax and calm myself down.
6
?
I can close my eyes and think
7
..of a strawberry and a candle.
8
air in
When I think of the strawberry I can take a deep
breath in through my nose. Like Im smelling the
strawberry.
9
1-2-3
Hold my breath and count to three slowly in my
head.
10
air out
Then I think of the candle. I can breathe out
slowly through my mouth. Like Im blowing the
candle out.
11

Start again..
I can try to do this three times.
12
This will help me feel calm inside.
13
I can then try to move away and think of
something I like.
(I can draw a picture of the thing I like
thinking of in the thought bubble above)
14
This is a good idea.
