Description
SEL Picture Book Duo: Even Superheroes Have Bad Days
It doesn't matter if you are teaching lower or upper elementary, there will be a time when your students experience big feelings. Some students are great at self-regulating, but some might still need your help. It is important that you prepare for that day and have a game plan on what to do.
A fun book to spark discussion on self-regulation is Even Superheroes Have Bad Days by Shelly Becker. This book introduces the idea that everybody including your favorite superheroes can have rough days. However, despite having such a bad day, there are better ways to deal with frustration, anger, and sadness than letting these emotions control us, or in the case of superheroes, destroy the world! It also briefly introduces the idea of being mindful, staying with your emotions, and letting them pass.
This book is so funny and great at talking about why and how to handle big feelings.
It also describes all the destructive, hurtful, unkind things superheroes have the power to do when they are upset but choose not to do. The author beautifully highlights how superheroes can feel sad, angry, or disappointed and still turn their bad days into good days by helping others and making the world a better place to be.
