bad case of the hiccups I wonder what

brought those on I'm going to the heaw

about dancing now I have to worry

about it's all that worrying that gave

you the hiccups dony Dan you really have

a bad case of the jittery nerves jittery

nerves oh

no that's

terrible

now I'm really upset what are jittery

nerves anyway it's that funny feeling

you get when you're a little worried

about something everyone feels a little

nervous from time to time even you papy

sure what do you do about it sometimes

it helps if I count to 10 want to count

to 10 with me girls and boys you can try

two donkey Dan 1 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 it

works backwards too 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2

1 that's better sometimes I take a slow

deep breath to feel better

drawing also helps me relax would you

like me to draw a picture for

you I sure would

papy are you ready to put your paper and

your pencils or markers to work girls

and boys well let's get started and see

what we can do to help donkey Dan today

we're going to draw a picture of my

friend friend Sarah you could draw one

of your friend if you'd like a while

back Sarah had feelings that were close

to how donkey Dan is feeling

today and I think I'm going to start by

drawing one ear her left ear there we go

and that's a curved

line and let's do the same thing

starting right here bring that line

around and stop and right here a curve

line good now let's draw the top of her

head it's a half circle like that and

I'm going to start it right here and

bring my marker all the way

around and

stop now let's draw the front of her

hair or her bangs and starting right

here let's put a line there and another

curved line and BR H it around and this

area here is where the hair is

separating so we'll put kind of like an

upside down V just like

that now let's just put some lines here

like that curve lines just to

show some

hair the direction the hair is going

kind of curve like that because it's on

her

forehead I love drawing pictures with

you and seeing how imaginative you are

you have lots of great ideas to add to

the

picture okay let's let's start with her

the her bottom the bottom of her face

right here we're going to bring that

line around and stop and bring this line

around and stop right

there and let's take this line and curve

it out that's her hair in the back of

her

head and we'll bring a curve line there

and do the same on this side good now

let's draw her mouth put a curve line

there and it's kind of an

upward line it's just a curve and then

go up with your pen or your marker your

cray or whatever you're using and now

let's draw her nose which is a curve

kind of looks like an upside down sea

doesn't it all right let's put one black

dot here for one eye and another black

dot for the other eye

and we'll draw a curve line like that

upside down C it kind of sounds silly

but that's what it looks like good now

we're going to draw her hands are kind

of on her chin so I'm going to put a

curve line there and a looping line

there and another looping line don't

lift up your point leave it down where

it is and bring it around and

stop and let's do the same over here

starting right here let's put a curve

line like that and bring it around

that's her elbow bring it around and

keep going and curve it around and let's

just put another line there can't see

all of the fingers that they're behind

her face and we'll continue with her

chin good let's start drawing her body

now all right she's wearing a t-shirt so

I'm going to put a line there and

connect it and her other sleeve and

connect it good now I'm going to bring a

line right here just a small one and

curve it over and up good now let's draw

her skirt bring a line down like that

and another line down like that that's

the side of her skirt now let's connect

those two

lines just like so

good

now let's draw her legs starting right

here let's curve that line out and do

the same thing on the other side and

bring it out and stop right there now

we'll draw one kneecap that's her

kneecap and let's connect it down and

around just like that that's one leg and

do the same thing on the other side her

kneecap just a small curved line and

bring it around and stop good now she'll

she's wearing socks so I'd like to show

that by just putting a curved line there

her socks are kind of roll down there we

go now let's draw her shoe and do a

swooping curve line like that good and

another

one just do small lines like that to

show the top of the other shoe and

starting right here let's do another

curved line and bring it around just

like that good

all right now she's wearing kind of

those shoes that children wear they're

kind of open they're

open in this area they're open you can

see the socks through there it's kind of

like a pullover type shoe and it's kind

of open in the front so we're going to

just show that by leaving this area open

you can see her socks through there good

now I think I'm going

to just show her collar by doing a curve

line just like that she looks a little

nervous doesn't she I'm going

to she could almost be sweating she

could have a case of the jittery nerves

like donkey Dan so I'm going to show

these little curved

lines just like so it almost looks

like perspiration or

sweat okay now I'm going to just show

some movement these are called movement

lines

just like that cuz it makes it look like

her legs are

moving boys and girls you can add your

own ideas to the picture like maybe a

Sun or a tree I'm looking forward to

coloring in our picture of Sarah later

on when we go back to the cabin well

that finishes our picture of my friend

Sarah how did Sarah cure her case of the

Jitters papy picture please show us what

Sarah did to calm her nerves what if I

can't find my class room what if nobody

likes

me okay jumping

jacks exercise helps me

relax hi my name is Sarah I

[Music]

here I'm glad that Sarah got over being

nervous about her first day at school

and do you remember that we talked about

three way that calm down when a nervous

feeling comes over you the first was

counting like this 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

or like this 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 the

second way to feel calm was to take a

deep breath like

this uh you can let it out now donkey

Dan what about the third way to get calm

yeah I know you can exercise I remember

Sarah did jumping jacks to help her

relax I could swoosh my tail for

relaxation watch

me how do you relax kids did some of you

say you talk about your feelings with a

friend or someone in your family that

really helps I heard some of the

children say they listen to music to

relax I like that idea let's ask our

favorite musical friend to help us sing

a song and we can dance too oh sing a

song Here I Am papy uh do you have a

song about uh jittery nerves I sure

do when you're facing something that

seems impossible seems implausible Seems

impassible you can learn to shrink it

down to

size when you start thinking I just

can't do it I can't go through with it

think I'll run away you can learn to

stand your ground and

say now I'm going to count to 10 1 2 3 4

5 6 7 8 9 10 step back and Catch My

Breath

Again there's lots of things that you

can

do

yeah so find the things that you know

will work for

you now the thing that once seemed

seemed impossible seemed implausible

seemed impassible we have learned to

shrink it down to

size we have learned to shrink it down

toze thanks a lot Sam you're welcome

papy well a Stomp and good song and all

this singing and dancing has cured my

case of the jittery nerves and my

hiccups are gone he hoay thanks papy

you're welcome see you later donkey Dan

have

fun come on boys and girls let's get

back to the cabin to color our

pictures wishing wheel cabin please

we're back enjoy coloring with the boys

and

girls hey py what's what's the opposite

of a hiccup the opposite of a hiccup I

don't know a hi

down and you are really silly

Elmer now let's get to work and color

our picture of Sarah so get your crayons

markers or colored pencils ready or if

you don't have them don't worry just

color with your

imagination all right let's start out by

just coloring her skirt

and I'm going

to pick a very bright

color and the color that I'm

using is called

teal can you say that word

teal

good and I'll fill that

in Teal's a very colorful color isn't it

all righty now I think I'm going to use

yellow for the little girl's

t-shirt this will help brighten up our

day it's such a wonderful bright

color and I'll fill that

in

and fill that right

in teal and yellow go nice

together sometimes I choose a color uh

but you can pick something else if you'd

like when you draw in color you can do

anything you want does everybody feel

the same way when they're nervous py uh

not really Lily donkey Dan got the

hiccups and Sarah's knees were knocking

H I start to droop when I'm nervous I

start to shake so hard all my pain falls

off so you see Binky everyone shows

their feelings in a different

way I think hey yellow socks would be

nice

whoops don't worry if your cray breaks

you can still use use it anyway

doesn't matter if it

breaks just use the side of the cray

like papy's doing there we go now I'm

going to color her

hair orange that's a nice bright color

too and fill that right

in

and we'll just color that like like

that and

there take your time and just do the

best that you can

do it's important that you just have fun

like papy's

doing there we

go now I think I'll

color her shoe

o look at this color it's a very bright

color I'll bet you're having fun

choosing any color that you'd

like and we'll fill that right in like

that there we

go I love to get pictures with ideas

that are a little different from mine

we'll see pictures that some of you sent

in when we visit the Hall of Frames in

just a little

while okie

dokie now I think I'll

color her face

in like

so and we'll just color that in like

that there we

[Music]

good and fill that right

in

my this is looking very

nice and we'll color the other

arm papy's trying to be as neat as he

possibly can but if I make a mistake

don't worry about it nobody's perfect

just do the best you

can and just have fun using your

imagination as your

color okay

H oh look at

this I think that yellow would show

through there's an opening in her shoe

there and I'm going to color that yellow

because you would be able to see the

sock through there very

good and I'm going to just indicate just

a little

bit of a shadow just just to kind of

make it look like she's on the ground

instead of floating in the

air I'm glad we talked about things to

do that will really help us calm down

when we need to I'll be able to use them

I will too next time you feel nervous or

upset I hope you'll think about the

little girl in the picture and remember

the ways to relax that we talked about

today can you hold up your pictures now
