A highly polished, 13-slide presentation on identifying big emotions and de-escalating conflicts, optimized for middle schoolers. It features daily journal check-in prompts, simple and straightforward comparisons of the big four emotions (anger, frustration, anxiety, sadness), an analysis of aggressive language, clear 3-step de-escalation skills, and 8 practical roleplay scenarios including sibling fights (sweatshirt theft and bathroom rush), school peer conflict, parent arguments (broken-down bus and messy bedroom), sports game disputes, and hallway bumping with cursing. Language is direct, clear, and age-appropriate with all advanced or cutesy metaphors removed.
