He wasn’t sure why but everything felt too much. When his little sister took his favourite truck without asking, lightning cracked in his belly. He wanted to shout LOUDLY
Then he looked at the feelings chart on his wall.
🟥 Angry? Take 5 deep breaths.
Leo tried it. ...In… out. In… out. The storm began to shrink slowly
He gently said, “Please ask next time.”
His sister nodded. “Okay. I’m sorry.”
Later, the rain tapped on the windows. Leo felt droopy. His shoulders sagged.
🟦 Sad? Talk to someone you love.
He found his mom. “I feel sad,” he whispered.
She hugged him tight. “Let’s listen to your happy songs.”
They danced in the kitchen. Leo smiled a little. The cloud lifted.
Then came boredom. Leo stared at the wall, wanting to snack or scroll.
🟨 Bored? Go outside. Draw. Read.
He stepped outside. The rain made soft music on the roof. That gave him an idea.
He came back in and drew what the raindrops looked like in puddles.
That night, Leo felt something new - Pride.
He didn’t fight his feelings or ignore them. He listened, named them, and found better ways to feel better.
As he drifted off to sleep, he thought:
“Feelings are like weather. They come and go - but I can choose what I do with them.”
🧠 Moral Takeaways :
-
Feelings are natural - not bad.
-
Talking, breathing, or creating can help.
-
You control your actions, not your emotions.
