Children need to learn how to quickly calm themselves. Have a remote control in your classroom. It is not hooked up to a television. It is instead a prop that children use to change their moods. The child who is angry or sad or out of sorts, gets the remote, pushes the pause button while taking some calming breaths to feel better and then changes the channel on the remote to signify a brand new mood.
Have a great day.

Hi Marlyn
I just read your change the channel. I love it. We use the breathing wand and another deep breathing technique but this really updates us to the now generation even more.
I think this is a great idea. I with there was something made or could make that if a child were to push a button a angry face would pop up on a screen, when they are sad, a sad face would pop up. Same goes for all feeling that a child needs to learn how to express. I like the remote idea, every child knows what they are but to have one for feelings would be a great help.
