Exploring Emotions
Yaya, a spirited three-year-old, discovers that her big emotions turn into colorful, mischievous monsters. She must learn to understand and tame them to live peacefully.
Yaya loved playing in her room filled with toys. But sometimes, her big feelings would turn into monsters. They'd jump around, making a mess and causing trouble. Her mom said, "Yaya, you need to calm down." Yaya wanted to, but the monsters were too strong.
Yaya wanted to play with her favorite doll, but a monster named Grumpy blocked her way. Grumpy crossed his arms and frowned. - Why can't I play? Yaya asked. Grumpy just shook his head, making Yaya feel sad. She sat down and sighed.
Yaya tried to draw a picture, but Silly Monster spilled her crayons. - Oh no, my drawing! cried Yaya. Silly Monster giggled, scattering crayons everywhere. Yaya felt like crying, but she took a deep breath. - I'll try again, she whispered.
Yaya felt like giving up. - I can't do anything right, she said to her teddy bear. The monsters felt bigger than ever. Yaya hugged her teddy tight, feeling overwhelmed. She closed her eyes, wishing for help.
Just then, her mom came in and smiled. - Let's talk to the monsters, she suggested. Yaya was surprised. Her mom showed her how to speak kindly to each monster. - Please, Grumpy, let me play, Yaya said softly. Grumpy nodded and stepped aside.
Yaya learned to calm her monsters with kind words. - Thank you for listening, she told them. The monsters began to shrink, becoming tiny and friendly. Yaya felt happy and proud. She could play and draw with peace.
