In the movie “Inside Out,” the character Anger is portrayed as a red faced, stocky character who lacks trust in his fellow emotions and is quick to blow up. Throughout the movie we literally see flames coming out of his head when he perceives a situation as unfair. Although we do not have literal flames coming out of our heads when we experience anger, it often may feel that way.

Teaching kids to understand their thoughts, longings, desires, and emotions helps them observe why they do the things they do. Humility in a child’s life includes learning to serve others, listen, desire growth, honesty, see life through the lens of invitations rather than inconveniences, want the best for others, and manage emotions.
