Solomon is teaching a simple but powerful truth: When someoneās angry and you yell back, you multiply the emotion When you stay calm, kind, or even silent, you cool things down You donāt have to match someone elseās angerāyou can break the cycle ā
In this episode, kids will learn: Why gentle words are stronger than loud arguments How Jesus modeled calm and truthāeven when people shouted at Him Real ways to turn down anger instead of turning it up What it looks like to be a peacemaker , not a reactor š§± Real-life example: Imagine someone knocks over your Lego set on purpose .
