What's inside

What to say first, and what to do next.

Short lines you can actually remember in the moment. A few from the sheet:

  • First, stop it“No hitting. I will not let you.” Then stop talking.
  • Name the feeling“You're angry they took it.”
  • Give the anger somewhere to go“You can stamp your feet or squeeze the cushion.”
  • Skip the lectureThe more words and heat you add, the more you feed the fire.

Made by two parents. Every line on the sheet comes from the Joura app, which is built on published guidance for parents of young kids.
