Larry the Dinosaur & the Beautiful Mistake | Dealing with Change & Anger

About this episode

In this episode, children learn to manage anger and embrace change through the story of Larry the Dinosaur's adventure.

Is your little one struggling with transitions or big feelings when plans change? In this episode of Ms. Sami’s Storytime we meet with Larry the Dinosaur again! Larry loves when everything stays exactly the same, and when things change, he gets very angry. But today, Larry's whole day gets flipped upside down! Through Larry’s jungle adventure, children will learn an easy social-emotional learning (SEL) mindfulness tool called "Volcano Breaths" to help blow away fiery anger, release physical tension, and calm down their bodies. With the help of his friend Pip the Triceratops, Larry discovers how to let go of perfectionism, embrace the unknown, and turn unexpected mistakes into something beautiful. Perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary kids, this story offers gentle coping skills for managing frustration, handling daily changes, and learning that mistakes can be wonderful surprises.
