Family Emergency Quick‑Guide

If your child is overwhelmed, melting down, shutting down, or in crisis — here’s what to do in the first 10 minutes.

  1. Stay calm. Your tone becomes their tone.
  2. Lower your voice. It signals safety.
  3. Give space. “I’m here when you’re ready.”
  4. Offer a choice. “Water or a break?”
  5. Validate. “I see you’re upset. That makes sense.”
  6. Don’t lecture. Save the talk for later.
  7. Use the ZAPZ SAFE Room. Let them reset.
  8. Request a Support Coach. We respond quickly.
