🔍 Spot the Clue

What happened right before the behavior?

This classroom is the practice. You learn the move and try it at home. The Behavior Struggle Map is the separate paperwork — the filled-in logs, letters, and plan for the school. We do not repeat it here.

You name the trigger in 10 seconds instead of guessing for weeks.

What you walk away with

A filled-in clue log for three real moments.

Lesson 1 · 7 min

Before, During, After

FREE

Behavior never starts at the scream. It starts about 90 seconds earlier.

  1. Step 1: Write what happened in the 5 minutes BEFORE.
  2. Step 2: Write what the behavior actually looked like — plain words, no labels.
  3. Step 3: Write what happened right AFTER, including what you did.
  4. Step 4: Circle the one thing that shows up the most across days.

I Do

I fill out a clue log live using a parent's real meltdown.

We Do

We look at your log together and circle the pattern.

You Do

You log three moments this week.

This week: Log three moments. Do not fix anything yet — just watch.

Lesson 2 · 9 min

The 7 hidden triggers

Members

Most blow-ups trace back to hunger, tired, noise, transition, demand, surprise, or being told no.

  1. Step 1: Read the 7 trigger list out loud.
  2. Step 2: Rank the top 3 for your child.
  3. Step 3: Look at your clue log — do your top 3 match what you wrote?
  4. Step 4: Pick ONE trigger to work on for two weeks.

I Do

I explain each trigger with a real family example.

We Do

We match your log to the trigger list in the room.

You Do

You pick one trigger and tell the group which one.

This week: Name your child's #1 trigger in one sentence.

Lesson 3 · 6 min

Build your early-warning list

Members

Your child gives a warning every time. Most parents miss it because it is small.

  1. Step 1: List the 3 small signs your child shows before a blow-up.
  2. Step 2: Give each one a family name ("the hum," "the stomp").
  3. Step 3: Teach the names to everyone in the house.
  4. Step 4: When you see one, step in with support — not a correction.

I Do

I show you what early warnings look like in ADHD and autistic kids.

We Do

We name your child's warning signs together.

You Do

You catch one warning sign and step in early.

This week: Post your 3 warning signs in the classroom thread.
