When I'm Frustrated
A Behavior Social Story
By: Kiah Jones
When I'm frustrated, I make poor choices. These choices can hurt my friends or their feelings and I can get in trouble.
Instead of hitting or kicking someone or something, I can walk away.
Instead of yelling or screaming, I can use my words and say "I'm frustrated right now".
Instead of hiding or running out of the classroom, I can ask for a sensory break.
Instead of biting myself or a peer, I can squeeze my hands together or ask the teacher for a stress ball.
Instead of pushing my friends, I can step back and take a deep breath.
What else can you do if you're frustrated?
You can:
drink water, dance, take a walk, ask for a weighted vest, stretch your body, ask for a sensory break, ask for a stress ball, ask for a hug or someone to talk to, use your words
