Big feelings like anger can be hard for little ones to handle. They might yell, stomp, or throw toys — not because they’re “bad,” but because they’re still learning how to express themselves.
This gentle printable story, "When I Feel Angry," is made just for toddlers and preschoolers who need support understanding what’s happening inside their bodies — and what they can do to calm down.
I use this story with my home daycare kids, and it really helps! You can read it before tough moments or after a meltdown as part of a calming routine.

Includes physical cues (tight body, hot face)
