Brad's Temper is a heartfelt children's story about patience, self-talk, and learning how to manage big emotions when things don't go as planned.
Brad Jr. is a kind, helpful boy who loves trying new things. But when he struggles to win a new game, frustration quickly takes over. As his anger grows, Brad begins to speak unkindly to himself and lashes out at the people around him-especially his younger siblings, Blake and Sidney. What starts as a tough moment soon becomes a powerful lesson about emotional regulation, accountability, and self-belief.
With gentle guidance from his mother, Brad learns that mistakes are part of learning and that being patient with himself is just as important as practicing a skill. Through calm conversations, comforting hugs, and real-life modeling, Brad discovers healthier ways to express frustration, repair hurt feelings, and keep trying without giving up.
Brad's Temper helps children recognize negative self-talk, understand the impact of anger on relationships, and develop tools for calming down and believing in themselves. This story encourages emotional awareness, resilience, and kindness-both toward others and oneself-making it a valuable resource for families, educators, and caregivers supporting children as they navigate everyday challenges.
