When a child's drawing rips, a big angry feeling fills a five-block feeling meter, and the child names it and learns that all feelings are okay. Four ways to calm down (slow breaths, counting to five, sitting in a quiet spot and talking to a trusted adult) each take a block off the meter until the child feels calm again.
