Calm-Down Plan tips
- Teach the plan when everyone is calm.
- Offer a small number of choices so the page stays usable.
- Use the printable as support, not as a punishment.
Introducing the printable
- Explain the support before the hard moment begins.
- Use private, supportive language that names the skill being practiced.
- Pause the printable if it starts to feel like shame, pressure, or public scoring.
Use with care
- Use privately when the printable is about an individual child or student.
- Do not use the page to shame, rank, diagnose, or publicly compare behavior.
- Stop and adjust if the printable increases stress instead of making the next step clearer.
