It’s good to talk!

When an incident has occurred, it is all to easy to go in guns blazing but it has happened for a reason.To prevent it occurring again we need to find out why.Give the learner time to calm and be safe. Allow them time to chat to an adult about what has happened. Write or draw responses to these questions.Don’t judge – Do listen. You will be fascinated by the life behind the child.

What happened before the incident? What was your mood before?

How has your behaviour made you feel?

Did anybody or anything other than you cause this incident?

It’s good to talk.

Could anything have been done to support you to prevent this incident?

What is your mood now?

What help do you need help to prevent it happening again?

Who can provide this help?
