Talk About Calm Things

            Say: It doesn’t feel good when we’re angry. Our hearts feel much better when they’re calm and peaceful. 

            Share something that helps you feel calm and peaceful. It might be quiet music, a walk in the mountains, or sitting on the beach.

            Ask: • What makes you feel calm and peaceful? Kids may say a stuffed animal, their mom, or looking at some favorite books.

            Say: God can help us feel calm and peaceful, too, especially when we’re angry. God helps us calm our anger.
