This document provides strategies for regulating emotions and dealing with uncooperative people called "Curmudgeons". It lists mindfulness techniques like deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation. It also recommends ways to interact with Curmudgeons such as using straw breathing to relax, going for a walk to remove yourself from the situation, or finding a distraction like shaking it off. The overall message is to use calming techniques and avoid escalating conflicts with difficult people.

10. Your classmate and you are playing a game. He
wins and keeps chanting, “You lost, you lost! I
won”
What would you do?
You get back a spelling test and find out you’ve
gotten half the words wrong. Another student who
sits nearby says to you, “I got another perfect
score and I didn’t even study.”
What would you do?
You lose a game at recess that you really wanted
to win and the other team keeps bothering you
about it.
What would you do?
Walk
Away!
