Lesson Overview

7.49 – Teaching Kids the “Stop, Breathe, Decide” Method: “Stop, Breathe, Decide” is a simple three-step process that transforms reaction into reflection. Teaching it begins with modeling each phase during daily frustrations. First, stop—pause before responding. Second, breathe—slowly inhale and exhale to reset the nervous system. Third, decide—choose a calm, helpful action instead of an impulse. Practice through games or mock scenarios so it becomes automatic. Visual reminders or posters can reinforce the sequence. Parents should praise effort over outcome to encourage use under stress. This habit rewires the brain for thoughtful decision-making. Over time, it becomes an instinct that replaces panic with clarity. “Stop, Breathe, Decide” turns chaos into choice, one moment at a time.
