Tom was a 13-year-old boy who often felt angry over little things. One morning, his mom asked him to clean his messy room. Tom’s face turned red with frustration. He hated cleaning and didn’t want to do it. In a burst of anger, he shouted at his mom, “I don’t care! Leave me alone!” His mom looked at him, calm and patient. She softly said, “Anger will only make you feel worse, Tom. It’s okay to be upset, but try not to hurt anyone with your words.”
That night, Tom thought about what his mom said. The next day, the same thing happened. His mom asked him to clean his room again. But this time, Tom took a deep breath. Instead of yelling, he calmly said, “I don’t want to clean now, but I will do it after I finish my homework.” His mom smiled and agreed. Tom felt proud of himself.
A few days later, his younger sister borrowed his favourite game without asking. Tom felt his anger building up. But he remembered his mom’s words. He took a deep breath and said, “Please ask me next time before taking my things.” To his surprise, his sister apologised and promised to ask in the future.
Moral:
Anger can make you feel worse, but staying calm helps you feel in control.
Talking kindly helps fix problems and keeps relationships strong.
