Which moment keeps catching you off guard?

Why does switching off become a battle?
After school
Why is everything unraveling at home?
Bedtime
Why does every step become an argument?
Leaving the playground
What if my child refuses to leave?
Sibling conflict
What do I say first?
Morning routine
How do we move forward when we're late?
The Meltdown Decoder
Screen time ending
Make the ending clear before the beginning.
A first step
Remind your child of the agreed ending using the cue you chose together.
Safety comes first
If there is hitting or throwing, protect people and the device; wait for calm before discussing the plan.
Words you can use
- “Two more minutes.”
- “It's okay to be upset.”
- “Let's pause and try again.”
Use fewer words.
Our top ten script ideas for common situations are on page 3.
A practical response
Step 1
Stay calm and state the agreed ending in a warm, clear way.
Step 2
If your child protests, offer one or two ways to move forward.
Step 3
If there are still strong feelings, give space, stay calm and use simple language.
Screen time has ended. Your child is upset.
Words you can use
A practical next step
Adapt the words to your child. If there is hitting or throwing, protect people first.
Example from the Screen Time Ending guide.
Notice. Choose a response. Review later.
RISE SCAN™
Regulation state
What do I observe about comfort, energy, and ability to engage?
Immediate trigger
What happened just before the change?
Sensory load
What kind of light, touch, or activity might matter?
Emotional meaning
What might this moment mean to the child?
RISE Scan™
Reflect on regulation state, immediate trigger, sensory load and emotional meaning.
The Response Ladder™
1. Before escalation
Notice the situation, prepare a transition, or reduce a manageable demand.
2. During intense distress
Protect people, keep words brief, and offer appropriate support.
3. During recovery
Allow time and reconnect without demanding an explanation.
4. When ready to learn
Discuss one useful alternative and practice it later.
Response Ladder™
Organize options before escalation, during distress, during recovery and when ready to learn.
