Health & Physical Education – CLASS-II – UNIT- 5 Anger

ANGER

Consider this: You and your younger brother got a chocolate bar from your mother. You decided to save it. Later you see that your chocolate is gone. You find out that your brother ate it.

How did you feel about it? Pretty sure you felt angry. Anger is also a feeling. We feel angry when things don’t go our way. We can also feel angry when things or people upset us. What do we usually do when we get angry? We yell, scream or talk too loudly. Or we feel like hitting someone. But is it the right way to show our anger?
Getting angry or mad at others happens to everybody. It is not wrong to get angry. Like in the example above, you might be right to be angry at your brother.
But one thing we must remember is that anger must be shown in the right way. Hitting someone when you are angry will not help anyone. But how can one control their anger? Or how can show their anger in the right way?

Story: Angry Lisa
It was a summer day, with birds chirping in the trees, bees buzzing on the flowers and butterflies flying over the green grass. But it didn’t seem to be a very good day for Lisa. Lisa was angry at everything around her. When she got out of bed, she slipped on the sheets and fell down. When she came downstairs for breakfast, it got cold. She later decided to take a bath to get ready. But when she went into the bathroom, there was no water. She stomped out of her bathroom in anger and saw some of her building blocks. She decided to build a tall building with them to distract herself. But then she found out that some of the building blocks were missing. In her anger, she kicked the tin dustbin in her room. The hard bin hurt her toe. “Ow!” she cried loudly.
Hearing her cry, her parents came down to see what had happened.

“Lisa, what happened?” Her mother asked. “Everything around me is making me angry!” Lisa said. “Why!” her mother asked.
“Because…oh, so many reasons! What do I tell you…” Lisa said in a softer tone.
“Calm down Lisa. All you need to do is close your eyes, take a deep breath, and think of things that make you happy,” her father replied. Lisa started thinking about things that made her happy— ice cream, rainbow, beach, butterflies and so many other things.
Lisa anger went away in a second.

KEY VALUES:
Anger is a tricky feeling. Any word spoken or action taken in anger can have serious effects. The person whom you end up speaking to too harshly might get sad because of you. You might also end up hitting someone when you are angry and cause serious damage to them. This is unacceptable and can land you in a lot of trouble.
