Young Matteo is screaming about dropping his snack. He easily becomes triggered during snack time and he dropped a sack he wanted to eat on the floor...
Hmmmm... How can I help calm him down?

Matteo, let's talk about this. I understand that you are upset about this, but we need to find a better solution than screaming. What do you think we can do instead and how can I help you?
Well, it makes me really sad when I can't eat all of my snack. I know I shouldn't get so upset and scream. I think I can have my mom send in extra snacks that I like so if I don't like my snack one day or if I drop it again, I can still enjoy more snack.

That's a great idea Matteo. Since we need to be safe, it is important not to scream in our classroom or go under the tables, even if you are upset. Next time, let me know if you need to use our calm down corner.
Thank you Ms. Gianni. I can try to tell you before I become this upset again. I understand I made an unsafe choice.
