This worksheet is asking you to think about what you can do when you start feeling angry. It’s not a math or science problem — it’s about your feelings and how to handle them in a healthy way.
Let’s break it down step by step:
Step 1: The first thing the worksheet asks is, “If I start to feel angry, the first step I will take is…”
→ Think of something calm and safe you can do right away when anger starts. For example: taking deep breaths, counting to 5, walking away for a minute, or saying “I need a break.”
Step 2: Then it says, “Then my next step will be to…”
→ After you’ve calmed down a little, what’s the next helpful thing? Maybe talking to someone you trust, writing down why you’re upset, or doing something quiet like drawing or listening to music.
Step 3: Finally, “My final step will be to…”
→ This is about solving the problem or making things better after you’re calm. You might apologize if needed, talk about what happened, or make a plan so it doesn’t happen again.
There’s no single “right” answer — this is personal! But here’s an example of how one student might fill it out:
1. If I start to feel angry, the first step I will take is… take three big breaths and count to ten.
2. Then my next step will be to… go to my room and write down what made me mad.
3. My final step will be to… talk to my mom or teacher about how I felt and ask for help.
You can use your own ideas — just make sure each step helps you feel better and solve the problem without hurting anyone (including yourself).
Final Answer:
1. Take three big breaths and count to ten.
2. Go to my room and write down what made me mad.
3. Talk to my mom or teacher about how I felt and ask for help.
