At one time or another, you have probably witnessed a child's emotions spinning out of control. When children are upset, it can be frustrating for parents, teachers, and any grown up. Don't forget, young children are still learning to control their emotions, and learning this skill is an important part ofchildhood. Without help, children may resort to hitting, kicking, biting, screaming, or crying when they feel frustrated, challenged, or disappointed. When children behave this way, we often tell them to stop. However, while these behaviours need to change, remember that upset or uncomfortable feelings are okay. Part of growing up is learning how to handle those feelings in ways that make us feel better. In this book, the rhyme "1-2-3 A Calmer Me" is a simple mantra for helping children cope when their emotions start spinning out of control. Based on the psychological principles of relaxation and mindfulness, the mantra can be used anywhere, anytime.
