The Wiggly Feeling Story The Wiggly Feeling Story
Session 1 Mission Briefing
Every morning, Sam bounced out of bed feeling a little wiggly. Today was Science Fair day. As Sam walked into the classroom, butterflies fluttered in the stomach. Sam’s legs tapped on the floor and the chest felt all warm and buzzing.
When it was time to present, Sam’s heart pounded like a drum. The palms felt sweaty, and the voice trembled just a bit. Sam took a deep breath and remembered how a wiggle in the tummy could mean excitement, too.
Later at recess, Sam joined a soccer game and kicked the ball hard—but then tripped over a friend’s shoe. A tight knot formed in the jaw and fists clenched at the sides. The face turned hot, and shoulders rose up near the ears. Sam realized these were the body’s signals for anger.
After a quick break on the bench, Sam rested hands on the knees and closed the eyes. Inhaling slowly, the heartbeat steadied and shoulders softened. With a calm breath, the wiggles in the tummy quieted down.
Mission Findings
Sam noticed how each feeling made the body speak:
Excitement: Butterflies in the stomach.
Nervousness: Sweaty palms and a pounding heart.
Anger: A clenched jaw and tight fists.
Sam smiled, knowing that paying attention to these body signals could help turn big wiggles into gentle calm.

Session 2 Mission Briefing
1. The Loud Alarm
As Cooper sat at his desk, the fire alarm suddenly blared through the halls. His chest tightened and his hands began to shake involuntarily. He covered his ears and took a quick breath, noting how his heart thumped loudly in his chest.
What was the trigger?
What was the signal?
2. The Surprise Question
During math class, the teacher pointed to Cooper and asked him to solve a problem on the board without warning. Cooper’s eyebrows furrowed, and his jaw felt clenched. He felt his pulse race, and his stomach churned as he stood up.
What was the trigger?
What was the signal?
3. The Sudden Bump
At lunch, a friend accidentally bumped into Cooper’s tray, spilling milk. Cooper’s eyes grew wide and his shoulders shot up toward his ears. He noticed a quick flutter in his stomach and a hot flush across his face.

Session 3 Mission Briefing
Story 1: Jamie’s Racing Heart
Jamie sat at his desk, feeling the familiar flutter in the chest and a pounding heart as the teacher called on them to read aloud. Jamie’s hands began to shake and the breath felt short. Remembering their deep breathing strategy, Jamie closed their eyes and placed a hand on their belly. Slowly, Jamie inhaled through the nose for four seconds, then exhaled through the mouth for four seconds—repeating this four times. After breathing, Jamie noticed the heartbeat slowed, shoulders relaxed, and the voice felt calm enough to read the paragraph clearly.
Prompt: How did Jamie's body change after using the strategy?
Story 2: Alex’s Tight Muscles
On a noisy day at lunch, Alex felt tension rise in the neck and shoulders as classmates bumped and laughed nearby. The muscles tightened so much that Alex clenched fists under the table. Alex decided to use a quick movement break: standing up, stretching arms overhead, and marching in place for one minute. As Alex moved, the tightness in the shoulders eased, the legs felt energized instead of jittery, and the mind grew quieter. Returning to the table, Alex felt more in control and ready to join the conversation calmly.
Prompt: Why did Alex choose a movement break for these body signals?

Story 1: Mia’s Quiet Moment
Mia felt her chest tighten and her fists clench as the classroom noise grew louder. She noticed her breathing speed up and her shoulders rise. Mia quietly walked to the Calm Corner, sat on the soft cushion, and picked up the deep-breathing card. She placed a hand on her belly, inhaled slowly for four seconds, and exhaled for four more. Mia repeated this three times. Soon, her shoulders softened, her heartbeat slowed, and she felt calm enough to return to her desk.

Story 2: Jayden’s Energy Release
Jayden’s mind buzzed and legs bounced after sitting through a long lesson. His body felt tense and restless. Remembering the Calm Corner tools, he moved to the quiet space and chose the movement-break card. Jayden stretched his arms overhead, marched in place, and tapped his toes for one minute. As he moved, the restlessness melted away, his muscles relaxed, and his breathing evened out. Jayden smiled, feeling ready to focus on his next task.

Session 5 Mission Briefing
It was mid-morning, and the classroom buzzed with activity. Chairs scraped across the floor as students rearranged desks for group work. A loud chatter filled the air—papers rustled, backpacks zipped, and someone dropped a textbook with a thud. Cooper felt his ears prick with every sound.
Suddenly, his chest tightened and his shoulders drew up toward his ears. His heartbeat pounded like a drum, and his hands flew to his ears to muffle the noise. In that moment, Cooper noticed the tight knot forming in his stomach and the racing pulse in his throat.
Remembering his strategies, Cooper quietly stood and said, “I need a break.” He moved to the Calm Corner, selecting the deep breathing card. Cooper placed a hand on his belly and inhaled slowly for four seconds, then exhaled for four seconds.

After three breaths:
Heartbeat steadied
Shoulders relaxed
Classroom sounds seemed softer

Session 6 Mission Briefing
Cooper and his classmate Mia sat side by side to work on a science poster about the water cycle. At first, Cooper felt calm as Mia read the instructions aloud.
But when Mia asked him to write the first sentence on the poster, Cooper’s palms grew sweaty and his heartbeat sped up. His legs bounced under the table and his chest felt tight.
Cooper remembered his deep breathing strategy. He quietly placed one hand on his belly and took four slow breaths—inhale for four seconds, exhale for four seconds. As he breathed, Cooper noticed his heartbeat slow and his shoulders soften. Feeling more in control, he picked up the marker and wrote the sentence.
Mission Log: New Signals
During the next step, Mia asked Cooper to draw the clouds. Cooper’s stomach fluttered with excitement, and he felt a knot form in his jaw.
He nodded to Mia, excused himself, and walked to the Calm Corner . There, he chose the movement-break card and marched in place for thirty seconds.
Cooper returned to Mia with a smile, ready to finish their poster together.

Cooper was quietly working on his spelling worksheet when suddenly the teacher pointed directly at him and called, “Cooper—can you share your answer?”
His chest tightened, and his breath became quick and shallow. Cooper felt his heart pound like a drum and his palms grow sweaty. A knot formed in his stomach, and he noticed his shoulders creeping up toward his ears.
Remembering his Calm Corner tools , Cooper took a calm breath and said softly, “I need a break.” He walked to the Calm Corner and picked up the deep-breathing card.

Session 8 Mission Briefing
Cooper sat quietly at his desk, staring at the blank quiz paper in front of him. As he read the first question, a flutter of butterflies danced in his stomach.
His palms grew sweaty, and his mind buzzed with racing thoughts. He noticed his shoulders creeping up toward his ears and felt a tight knot form in his chest. Cooper recognized these as the "pre-launch jitters."
Remembering his Calm Corner tools , Cooper softly said, “I need a break,” and moved to the Calm Corner. He selected the deep-breathing card.
After three slow breaths, his heartbeat slowed and his shoulders dropped. Cooper smiled, turned back to his desk, and confidently answered the quiz question.

Session 9 Mission Briefing
It was the end of math time, and the teacher announced, “Okay, everyone—please tidy up your desks and line up at the reading corner.” Cooper heard the bell ring and saw classmates shifting and chatting.
His chest tightened, and he felt butterflies in his stomach. His shoulders rose toward his ears, and his legs began to fidget as he stacked his books. Cooper realized he was in "transition turbulence."
Cooper remembered his Calm Corner steps . He quietly whispered, “I need a break,” and slipped away to the Calm Corner at the side of the room. Sitting on the cushion, Cooper reached for the deep-breathing card.
Mission Success
After repeating 3 deep breaths:
Heartbeat slowed down
Shoulders dropped back down
Butterflies settled in stomach
Feeling ready, Cooper returned to the line, placed his books on the shelf, and took his seat. He felt calm and prepared for the next mission.
