🗣️ Tonight's Script

Word-for-word what to say in the moment.

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.

Tonight’s goal: You never freeze again. The words are already in your mouth.

The 3-part script formula

Name it, hold the limit, give the next step. That order keeps the fight short.

On the board tonight

  1. 1Name the feeling — "You are mad the tablet went off."
  2. 2Hold the limit once, calm — "The tablet is done for tonight."
  3. 3Give the next step — "You can pick the book or the blocks."
  4. 4Stop talking. Count to ten in your head.

Say this — word for word

  • "You are mad. I get it. The answer is still no."
  • "I am right here. You do not have to be calm to be loved."
  • "Pick one: this or this."

What not to say (and the swap)

Some sentences add fuel every single time. Swap them and the room cools down.

On the board tonight

  1. 1Cut "calm down" — swap to "I am right here."
  2. 2Cut "why did you do that" — swap to "what did you need?"
  3. 3Cut "if you don't..." — swap to "as soon as ___, then ___."
  4. 4Cut the countdown from 3 unless you will finish it.
