Have kids with big feelings? Have kids ready to explode? They need a way to release them so they don’t hit another child or act out. This is a safe way for them to release those big feelings. All you need is masking tape and a blank part of a wall. Make a square using the tape at children’s eye level. Start by asking children to talk about things that make them mad. Then show them the wall and tell them they can push out all their “mads” until they feel better.
