Watch this when
"When you feel so mad that you want to roar, take a deep breath and count to four." Honestly, works for grown-ups too. 🐯
Both stories show a very ordinary trigger for young children, a cancelled plan and losing out on something you wanted, so the anger is instantly recognisable.
A full episode of the PBS KIDS animated series Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (first aired September 5, 2012), made up of two stories about anger. In 'Daniel Gets Mad', Daniel is upset when heavy rain cancels his beach day with Prince Wednesday; after calming down, they make a pretend beach indoors.
