Question 1 of 2

What does Quarky do when his big feeling storms in?

The story

Quarky has a big frustrated storm of a feeling when his experiment topples over. Instead of exploding, he tries slow calm breaths and watches the storm shrink down to a passing cloud.

What you'll learn

  • Breathing slowly when you are upset helps big feelings settle.
  • Big feelings are like storms, they rise up and they pass.
  • You do not have to explode, you can pause and breathe.
  • Calm takeaway: you cannot stop big feelings, but slow breaths help them pass.
  • Quarky takeaway: all feelings are okay, and you have tools to meet them.
