Someone sat in my spot.

LITTLE DEAL

100
Your sibling's school closed, but yours did not. You have to go but they get to stay home. 
Little Deal. Although this would be very frustrating, we don't have control over it. We do have control over how we react. We can choose to ask a grown up if we can do something fun after we are done with school.

You saw someone fall off of the monkey bars on the playground. They are screaming and crying and holding their arm. 
Big Deal. It sounds like they are really hurt; maybe they even broke their arm! Tell a teacher immediately.

True or False: It's okay to play with your toys and then leave them for someone else to pick up. 
False. You need to clean up after your own mess!
200
It's your birthday. The present your family got for you wasn't the one you wanted. 
Little Deal. You might feel bummed that it's not what you wanted, but your family tried to do something nice for you by getting you a present. 
200
It's bed time, but you want to keep playing your video game. 
Little Deal. You will have other opportunities to play your game. You need sleep so you energy to play tomorrow! 
200
You got an "F" on a test. 
Little Deal. (As long as you do your best to ask for help and learn from your mistakes.) Everyone makes mistakes, Don't give up! 
200
True or False: It's good to stand up for a kid in class when someone makes fun of them. 
True. It doesn't feel good to be made fun of. Think of how you would feel. It would make you feel better if someone stood up for you.

Your friend threw up on the play ground.

BIG DEAL

300
Your dog died. 
Big Deal. Pets are like family members for many people. It can be very difficult to lose a pet, and you will need to talk to people about how you feel. 
300
Someone stuck their tongue out at you from across the room. 
Little Deal. You can ignore such shenanigans. 
300
It is tattling if you tell an adult when someone took your pencil. 
True. This is a problem that you can solve without a grown up. You can ask the other kid to give your pencil back. 
400
Your friend budged you in line. 
Little Deal. It's not polite for your friend to budge, but having a big explosion does not fit the situation. What else could you do?
400
Your sibling took the last cookie. 
Little Deal. It's okay to be frustrated, but you have the ability to control your frustration and problem solve. You can ask a grown up if you can choose something else to eat for a treat, and you can talk it out with your sibling. 
400
Someone said something about your mom/grandma. 
Little Deal. They don't even know your mom/grandma! And they are just trying to make you mad. You can work to ignore them. 
400
True or False: You have noticed someone being really mean to your friend every day at school. It's tattling to tell a teacher. 
False. If someone is being really mean on a regular basis, that's called bullying, and you should tell an adult. 
500
Your friend isn't actually very nice to you. In fact, they make you feel really bad about yourself and they don't share with you. 
Big Deal. Your "friend" sounds like a bully. You need to ask a grown up about what to do. Real friends aren't mean and don't make you feel badly. 
500
Your family needs to run errands. You can't stay home alone, but you don't want to go with them. 
Little Deal. Sometimes we have to do things that we don't feel like doing, it's a part of life!
500
The teacher didn't call on you. 
Little Deal. Your teacher will call on you next time. If you yell about it, the teacher won't call on you because you are not following the rules.

True or False: You're Awesome!!!
TRUE!!!!!!
