Through a series of obstacles, Alex discovers strategies to understand and communicate his feelings, leading to a happy resolution.
Alex loved school, but one day, he felt something big inside. It was art time, and Alex wanted the red paint first. He grabbed it quickly, but Sally had wanted it too. Sally's face crumpled, and Alex felt bad. Alex wondered, "Why did I do that?" His big feelings were causing trouble.
Later, during playtime, Alex tried to join a game of tag. He ran fast and accidentally bumped into Tim. Tim fell and looked hurt. Alex's heart sank as Tim frowned. - I'm sorry, Alex said, but Tim walked away. Alex felt his chest tighten with worry.
At lunchtime, Alex sat alone. His friends were whispering about the morning. Alex's tummy felt funny. - I didn't mean to, he whispered to himself. His eyes felt heavy with tears. - I wish I didn't have these big feelings, Alex thought.
By afternoon, Alex felt like giving up. He couldn't understand why he kept making mistakes. - Maybe I should just sit quietly, he thought. But Alex loved playing and being active. Giving up seemed so sad. His energy felt trapped inside.
Miss Harper, the teacher, noticed Alex's struggle. She sat with him and said, - It's okay to feel big feelings. Let's talk about them. Miss Harper taught Alex deep breathing. - Breathe in, breathe out, she guided. Alex felt a little calmer.
The next day, Alex was ready. When he felt his feelings bubble up, he took a deep breath. He asked Sally and Tim to talk. - I was wrong, Alex admitted. His friends smiled, and they hugged. Alex's honesty brought everyone back together.
