Getting MAD Feelings Out Healthily With Preschoolers

January 27, 2016 Children and Stress, Early Prevention 0 Comments

How do we begin preventing massacres? I am doing my two cents worth and have for 40 years! Another session today….Teaching 30 preschoolers healthy ways to get MAD feelings out: Artwork marking X where mad/anger starts in the body and where it feels good with a star when we release mad in healthy ways; shaking our bodies to get the mad feelings out; drumming mad out; breathing it out. We also squeezed mad out holding sponges I provided and made MAD playdough to see what it looks and feels like. So many options that do not harm self or others. This work should be spreading like wildfire to build a healthier society.
