🛑 STOP — I pause immediately
Raise your hand or make a signal to show you are stopping
Take a deep breath — fill your belly like a balloon
Count to 5 in your head before doing anything
Tell yourself quietly: "I stop. I can handle this."
🤔 THINK — What are my options?
Ask yourself: "What happened?"
Think of 2 or 3 different ways to react to the situation
For each option: "What will happen if I do this?"
Choose the solution that is good for you AND for others
✅ ACT — I make the right choice
Express yourself with calm words: "I feel... because..."
Ask an adult for help if you cannot decide
If you are too upset, ask for a break before continuing
Congratulate yourself for thinking before acting — that takes courage!
