When It Feels Unfair

Description

A Calm-Down Story About Sharing, Turns, and Sibling Moments

Few phrases capture childhood frustration better than “That is not fair!” This story explores the familiar emotions that come with sharing, taking turns, waiting, and watching someone else get something they want, helping children understand that fairness does not always mean everyone gets exactly the same thing at exactly the same time.

Through the story, children can practise:

• Naming feelings of frustration and jealousy
• Taking turns
• Sharing
• Seeing another person’s perspective
• Expressing disappointment with words
• Calming down before solving a problem

Ideal for

Siblings, playdates, classrooms, and any child learning to navigate the complicated world of mine, yours and our turn.

Big feelings don’t always need big solutions. Sometimes they just need little tools.
