How To Not Get Mad – Controlling Madness
There are many tricks to controlling your madness and sadness. First of all you should take 5 deep breaths.Then go to your room and take some more deep breaths. Count how many red or blue things.
Second you should try to cancel out all noise and just start thinking about what upsets you. I like using that technique when I’m getting yelled at. Or you can count your blessings by counting all the things you love.
Third you should try sleeping and just stop thinking about all your worries, anger, and sadness. Just let it all fade away. If you’re a parent and your kid upsets you these next ones are for you.
First you should let it all out by screaming in a pillow or blanket. Then you should take some deep breaths probably, 5-10 of them depending on how bad they upset you really.
Side note you should avoid yelling at them if they do something small but if its really bad you can yell or put them in timeout or something like that.

How To Not Get Sad – Controlling Sadness
First try to calm yourself by meditating or you can even just sleep. This is a great way to compromise your sadness and if you can’t sleep then try the other ideas I mentioned.
Now if none of these work for you then you can always just confront your sadness with somebody and then they can help you hopefully.
And if they can’t help you you can just go somewhere you would like to go, that you love and just to try to clear your mind of whatever it is that is making you super sad, or mad. Or you can just go to somebody else that you think can help you with your problem that your having. If that doesn’t work just try to forget about it all when you are going to bed the next night.
If you want to, leave me a comment on what you do to work through your emotions and control madness and sadness, I would love to hear them.
Also, feel free to read my other post about the movies I enjoy.
Youtube has some great meditations for kids. I really enjoy Friendly Wishes!
Wonderful post with plenty of great points!
What works for me if I feel angry or sad is to put up some good music I can dance to and just dance for a while. And in the case of sadness for me it also helps to grab something yummy or read a funny book.
These are both great! We do put on music and dance a lot actually. Good one to remember in the moment too! Reading a funny book is perfect as well. Thank you!
Great post. I have found that getting outside and exercising help take my mind off of whatever made me upset because for some reason deep breaths don’t work for me.
Fresh air is such a wonderful reset for the mood. I love being out in nature to fix whatever is ailing me!
I think you are very wise! Deep breaths help me to calm down and I enjoy talking a long walk in nature too. That helps me the most.
I love movies too! I’ll check out the movies you like.

Hello. This is such a great post. You are a really good writer! 🙂
When I’m feeling upset or confused about how I feel I like to either talk to someone I really trust or try to write it down like I’m writing a blog. I find that these methods help me to make sense of how I’m feeling, why, and anything I can do about it.
Thank you. I really like writing things down. Counting objects of a color helpe me a lot.
Beautiful post coming from a 10yr old. Great advice too! Keep it up!❤
Thank you. It works for me. I hope it works for you too.
Nice job, Wylder! You’ve definitely inherited your Mom’s ability to write!
Love you lots. You can always call if you need to talk!
