A play from the playbook

When “Put your shoes on” turns into a meltdown.

You’re already late and the shoes are still by the door. Find the situation you’re in, get the words to start with, then choose your next move based on how your child responds.

Illustrative playbook sample01 / Morning routines

Name what your child wants

“You wanted to keep playing. It’s hard to stop when you’re having fun.”

Say this to hold the limit

“It’s time to go. Do you want to put your shoes on, or should I help?”

Choose your next move

If they reach for a shoe
Give them a moment to start. Offer help if they ask.
If they still refuse
Pause. Keep the limit short and offer one small step: “It’s time to go. I’ll hold the shoe while you slide your foot in.”
