Synopsis

Flustered Without Mustard: Finding Calm When Angry or Frustrated
Published by Rhubarb Wisdom Books
Word Wranglin' by Barbara 'Rhubarb' Haas
Wondrous Watercolors by Mary Ann 'JuneHog' Kruse
If you’ve let loose, quickly adjust, find your center.
Counting three breaths may help you remember.
You could shake like a dog when you’re really upset.
Or you could sing, or dance, or play clarinet!

A picture book for children, parents, teachers, counselors with ways to calm!

Barbara 'Rhubarb' Haas, MA Education, shares wisdom from 40 years of teaching all ages from children to graduate level educators, studying and incorporating brain-based learning techniques, and researching to better guide students in managing their wide range of emotions.

The story shares the benefits of taking 3 big breaths and other techniques to gain back composure when faced with disappointment and frustration. It has concepts to invoke thinking, enliven conversations, motivate writing, and enhance character-building skills, as well as a nudge to take responsibility for our own emotions.

The book is a great resource to use for mindfulness and managing emotions, with ideas to ponder, weave, and integrate into life.
May the playful rhymes and colorful images put a twinkle in your eye.
May you always be young enough to enjoy picture books and the importance of reading to a child.

Concepts for this wisdom book were taken from Brene’ Brown’s Daring Greatly, Esther Hicks’, Relationship Meditation , Sandra Ingerman's How to Heal Toxic Thoughts, Harriet Lerner’s Dance of Anger and Dance of Connection, Marshall Rosenberg’s Non-Violent Communication, and Marianne Williamson’s Return to Love.

Flustered Without Mustard sets a stage for discussion with ‘kids’ of any age - 1 to 100. While the clever topic of mustard on a hot dog is quite simple, discussion on the range of reactions is not simple. Finding ways to resolve conflicts causing anger or frustration are as important as reading and math, for if emotions are not successfully mastered, success in academics will be hampered and relationships will struggle.
