Homework

Don't do this one (we will work on it next week, I'm keeping it here for now )

The other part of homework was to think about which Unthinkables invade their brain a lot ( the list of Unthinkables is in the pinned posts or they can make up their own)
Things you asked for at the end of the class:
Strategies:
- the specific strategies to defeat each Unthinkable are in the pinned posts (appendix cards) - I had them there before our class - but totally forgot
- other/general calm down strategies that might work for your child are in the pdf below (they are from Zones of Regulation, but I find them very effective)
- what I typically do with either one/both of those strategies - I have them laminated/hole punched on a ring to keep them handy because our kids often don't realize they have an Unthinkable in their brain or they are too worked up to use a strategy. That's when I pull up the ring with cards and hand it to them (on the Unthinkable they have in their brain or with a specific strategy I want them to use) Talking to them when they are overwhelmed often doesn't work or just makes things worse - that's why handing it to them - giving them a visual often works. As far as practicality - if I'm trying to use this with my own child and I don't have the cards handy, I just write on a piece of paper "swing" "hugs" and show her those 2 to pick. She will pick one (usually the swing and will go on the swing) I let her calm down for few minutes and then talk and problem solve/analyze what happened and how we can better handle the situation next time.
