Meet Your Inner Superheroes

Did you know you have a team of superheroes living inside you? They're called your emotions, and each one has its own special power to help you in life!

- Bravery: This hero steps in when you're scared but want to try something new—like speaking in front of the class or riding a bike for the first time.

- Joy: Joy's power is to light up your day and spread smiles wherever you go.

- Sadness: Although Sadness might seem quiet and blue, it helps you slow down and take care of yourself when you're feeling low.

- Anger: Anger is like a fiery protector, stepping up when something feels unfair. It’s important to channel Anger’s energy in a safe way, like talking to a trusted adult.

- Curiosity: This superhero loves to explore and discover new things, making learning an exciting adventure.

Each superhero has a role, and together they make your emotions team. They’re there to guide you, teach you, and remind you that it's okay to feel—all emotions have a purpose.

What to Do When Big Feelings Show Up

Sometimes, your emotions can feel really BIG, like a superhero showing off its power! It’s okay—that just means it’s time to use some cool tricks to handle them:

1. Take a Deep Dragon Breath:

Breathe in deeply like a dragon before it roars, and then slowly let it out. This can help calm your body and give your brain a moment to think.

2. Squeeze a Worry Ball:

Got a lot of feelings you don’t know what to do with? Grab a soft ball or even some playdough and give it a big squeeze. It’s a great way to let out frustration.

3. Create Emotion Art:

Grab some crayons and let your emotions out on paper. Angry? Use bold red strokes. Calm? Draw peaceful blue swirls. You’ll feel better after expressing your feelings through art.

4. Share with a Sidekick:

Every superhero has a sidekick! Talk to a family member, teacher, or friend about how you're feeling—they can help you figure out what to do next.

Big feelings can seem scary, but they’re just part of being human. And the more you learn to work with your emotions, the stronger you’ll become—just like a real superhero.
