Michael asks:
Age 6
Why do I get really, really mad when I lose a game? I don’t mean to be mean, but it feels so unfair!

Hi there, Michael! I totally understand why you feel that way. Losing a game can feel really frustrating, especially when you’ve tried hard and wanted to win! It’s okay to feel mad – it's a big feeling, just like a storm inside you. Remember, everyone gets upset sometimes, and it's important to talk about those feelings. Next time you feel that storm coming, you can try some fun calming activities! You could take a deep breath, count to ten, or even give Remy The Rumbler a big hug. Remy can help you rumble through those feelings and turn your frown into a smile! You know, losing a game is part of learning, and it helps us get better next time. Maybe we can think about what made the game fun, too! Remember, it’s okay to feel mad, and talking about it can help. You’re doing great, and I believe in you! Keep being brave, and always know that everyone has feelings just like you! Sending you lots of warm penguin hugs!
