What happened and feelings

What happened before, during, and after the problem?
What were you feeling in your body or thoughts?
Who was affected by what happened?

Triggers and needs

Help the student notice settings, demands, or unmet needs that made regulation harder.

What made this moment hard?
Was there a change, request, noise, conflict, or feeling that made things bigger?
What did you need but did not have yet?

Choices and replacement skills

Connect the reflection to concrete replacement behaviors the student can practice.

What choice did you make?
What can I do next time instead?
Which strategy could help: ask for help, take a break, use a calm-down tool, or use words?

Repair plan

Guide the student toward a practical repair step that fits the situation and relationship.

What can you do to repair harm or solve the problem?
Who needs an apology, check-in, cleanup, or plan?
What support do you need from an adult to follow through?

What can I do next time? My repair step or replacement behavior is: ________________________________
