- Topic
- From reframes this clinician actually repeats: 'Behaviour is communication. A meltdown is usually a nervous system out of room, not a child being manipulative.' and 'Connection before correction — a regulated adult is what lets a dysregulated child come back down.'
- Arc
- reframe — second in the client's preferred list, and the natural fit for shifting 'misbehaviour' framing to 'communication' framing, which is a core reframe this clinician repeats
- Hook
- Validation/gentle reframe shape; warm and encouraging tone per voice rules; avoids shame or blame toward the parent per rule 3
- Voice
- Warm, encouraging, gentle; plain language with no jargon; speaks to the caregiver about the child; uses 'nervous system' and 'co-regulate' which are permitted somatic/attachment terms; no clinical coldness
