Tucker Turtle is a terrific turtle. He likes to play with his friends at Wet Lake
School.
But sometimes things happen that can make Tucker really mad.
When Tucker got mad, he used to hit, kick, or yell at his friends. His friends would get mad or upset when he hit,
kicked, or yelled at them.
Tucker now knows a new way to “think like a turtle” when he gets
mad.
Step 1
He can stop and keep his hands, body, and yelling to himself!
Step 2
He can tuck inside his shell and take 3 deep breaths to calm down.
Step 3
Tucker can then think of a solution or a way to make it better.
Step 4
Tucker’s friends are happy when he plays nicely and keeps his body to himself.
Friends also like it when Tucker uses nice words or has a teacher help him when he is
upset.
The End!
