Activity 2: 'I' Messages

When you're feeling bothered by something, it's a good idea to think about what you need in order to feel better. Sometimes, you can meet your own need. Other times, you may want to share your thoughts with someone you trust so they can help you. Remember, this doesn't mean that your need will be met right away, because sometimes that's not possible! Here's what you can say:

I feel ________________________

Because ________________________

And I need _____________________

Examples of Needs:

*To go outdoors                    *A hug

*Sleep or rest *Playtime

*Time with a parent              *Alone time

*Something to eat or drink *A break

*A deep breath

Did you notice that the sentence in the box above uses 'I'? This is so you can take ownership of your feeling and need, rather than blaming it on someone else. After all, 'I need alone time' sounds a lot nicer than, 'Get out of my room!' Practice coming up with 'I' messages below. You can think of your own ideas for needs, or you can use the examples above to help you.

Example: Your parents have been busy all day, and you've played by yourself. You're feeling bored and lonely.

I feel lonely because I've played by myself all day and I need time with Mom or Dad.

1.      You didn't sleep well the night before, and now you're tired.

I feel __________________ because ________________________________________ and I need _________________.

2.      You've been working on your homework for a long time, and you're starting to get frustrated with it.

I feel _________________ because _________________________________________ and I need _________________.

3.      You've had a hard day at school, and you're feeling down.

I feel __________________ because _______________________________________ and I need __________________.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really helpful book- for child and parent

c. · June 3, 2024

Thank you so much to the author for writing this book. It is not only helpful for my child it is also helpful for me as the parent. For any parent struggling w anger management skills for their children, please get this book. It is so helpful, positive, clear and simple. Thank you

5.0 out of 5 stars A really good book and very helpful at managing and identifying anger

A.o. · December 26, 2020

The media could not be loaded. So far I'm loving this book and my son is doing pretty well in it. My son has a diagnosis of autism level 1 o d d sensory processing disorder ADHD with a possibility of OCD. We have lots of meltdowns anger issues throwing things in upsets. Sometimes it's hard to get him engaged in anything and he doesn't like this either but he will set through it and injure it. He enjoys that there are coloring activities. I bought two books at this time both are really good books but I will say that my son personally likes this one better and it's more of age appropriate for 8 years old. The other one seems more pointed towards teenagers and it seems like a lot of the books like this are. I'm really happy that this book is something me and my son can do together and actually help him work through his anger issues and see it on something else. I posted a photo and a video to help give an idea of some of the stories that are in here they're really nice and not too long or Too Short. If you can get your kiddo to set down they're going to do better after sitting with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its effective

4.0 out of 5 stars Mom loved it, the kids weren't impressed

A. · December 11, 2020

I bought of those for my kids because I was looking for a way for them to learn how to understand and then deal better with their anger. They are 10 and 7 and neither of them were really into it, I guess I will have to try harder into convincing them to go back to it and try to give it another chance because they lost interest in doing it very quickly. But aside from that I really think it is a great tool for parent and kids to open up a conversation about anger and emotion in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun & engaging for typical and gifted learners 6-9years old. old.

Purchase this for my 7-year-old gifted learner, who is occasionally resistant to workbook style learning. Since opening the package he was excited to dive in. Every morning he asked if he could do more pages than we had to do for homeschool so highly recommend. Also in excellent parent child activity for bonding and the intended social emotional learning (anger management). Great as a first book for feelings emotions and learning how to deal with them and is very thorough in the way that the chapters are set up so be sure to have your child complete them in order start to finish instead of skipping ahead.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a really good book!

I homeschool two boys, ages 5 and 7. We enjoyed this book ! We all three took something away from it. It’s got great family activity suggestions!

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 year old likes it and it helps!

J. · June 16, 2022

My 5 year old grandson kept getting in trouble at preschool for losing his temper and hitting others. Nothing seemed to work to correct this behavior. We bought this for him about 3 weeks ago and he really likes working in the work book and talking about his feelings. Also he has insisted on bringing it to preschool with him so he can "remember what he's suppose to do" instead of hit. We are very happy we got him the book as it seems to be helping him give more thought to his actions and do other things to get his anger out instead of hit!

3.0 out of 5 stars Check Therapist Aid First

J. · February 10, 2023

I purchased this book as an investment in my practice and I gotta admit that for the kids I work with this book is ineffective, because rationalizing big feelings isn't what kids need, they need validation and support to process them. This book doesn't offer that. It's very hard to make copies to use for multiple people because of the binding choice. Therapist Aid is a better choice because you can find almost identical "activities" listed in this book, but for free and with a full preview!

Wonderful Tools for Kids

L.R. · November 10, 2022

I'm very happy with this book. There are many useful, simple strategies that are easy to follow and implement. My son has responded well so far. I look forward to more titles by this author, perhaps one on dealing with anxiety and worry.

Kind like guided therapy a parent can deliver with their child. Great for a luddite like me

J. · September 7, 2020

My 9YO daughter can be EXPLOSIVE! That was my starting point. And her rage can last for hours with little appreciation for the context or reality of a situation. To be honest, I'd had more than enough but when it's your kids, you have to keep plugging away for a solution right?I bought this, combined with another book (see my other review) that she could read herself.The aim of this book is to work through it. I guess they could do it alone but that to me defeated the object of me understanding her thought patterns and triggers. If I had to sum the book up I'd call it a guided therapy for a parent to work through with child.The first few chapters are now completed, and I have to say it's been a pretty remarkable experience. Normally when I (43YO man) talk to my daughter (9YO girl) there's a huge gulf in thoughts and conversation. What this book is help me talk to her, and reciprocally help her talk back to me, all whilst staying comfortably in topic.I read through the book descriptions, then she does the exercises, then we discuss what she's written. None of this rocket science but simply knowing what and how to talk in a structured way is amazing.So OK, we are a about 6 chapters in, and our relationship is certainly stronger. It's probably a little too early to say whether a new, calmer girl is the outcome, but I've certainly seen less tenacity from her to keep things going. I also can spot things more easily, and talk to her in the frame of reference of something we have both shared and read together. We are both simply more aware of why she's lost it, and that in itself is helping bring things back on track.Oh, and it goes without saying that working through the book should only be done WAY outside of an anger episode, and in a safe space when you have some time together to dedicate to it.

Great little book

Would recommend for children who struggle with anger.

My son is really enjoying completing this book. We’re not very good at practicing the activities but it’s getting us talking about feelings and anger more.

Fun
