When you feel upset, it’s like when your favorite toy breaks. You feel a little sad or angry because things aren’t going the way you want. It’s okay to feel this way sometimes because everyone does.
Imagine your feelings are like a weather. When you are happy, it’s sunny. When you’re upset, it feels like a stormy day with lots of clouds and rain. But just like the weather changes, your feelings will change too. The sun will come out again, and you’ll feel better soon.
Think of your feelings as a balloon. When you’re upset, it’s like the balloon is filled with too much air and might pop if you don’t let some out. Talking to someone, like a parent or friend, can help let some of that air out so you feel better.
Sometimes, being upset is like having a puzzle with a piece missing. You might feel confused or frustrated because something doesn’t feel right. But with time and help, you can find the missing piece and make the puzzle whole again.
