A lesson designed for early childhood students to understand why we use gentle hands, identify the feelings that make it hard to stay gentle, and learn positive alternatives to hitting or pushing.

Focuses on reframing disappointments as learning opportunities and setting new goals to move forward with confidence.

Provides students with a range of practical coping strategies (the 'Bounce Tools') to help them manage difficult emotions in the moment.

Explores the physical sensations of disappointment and introduces a 'Disappointment Scale' to help students gauge the intensity of their feelings.
