Learn to Communicate

The Grump Meter provides a new language for communication! The Grump Meter Book explains the colors and how to use them to communicate.

Engage in healthy, curious conversation to teach and learn.Use phrases such as:

• "What color are you on?"
• "I'm on green because..."
• "I need a moment to cool down."
• "When you....it helps me calm down."

• Remember, you are responsible for yourself. If you need to communicate, it's best to do so on BLUE. People will listen to you and respond better.
  
• Practice your Emotional Vocabulary. The more you can put your feelings into words, the better you can communicate. The better you can communicate your feelings appropriately, the more time you'll spend on BLUE!
• Think of creative ways to communicate. You can write poetry like this. Try writing a poem about your feelings.
• Kids can use the Grump Meter to learn to be better friends to each other. 
• Adults and kids can use Grump Meter language for respectful, peaceful interactions. It gives kids a peaceful way to express anger. It also allows parents to talk about strong emotions while using the neutral language of color.
