Lesson Overview

1.32 – Crisis Planning When You’re the Oldest in the House: Being the oldest often means feeling responsible for everyone else, especially in crisis. That weight can feel unfair, but your leadership matters. Start by writing down who to call for help so you don’t have to decide while panicking. Keep younger siblings calm by modeling calmness—your tone becomes their safety signal. Prepare a plan for where to go or what to do if things become unsafe. It’s okay to ask adults for help; being the oldest doesn’t mean you must be invincible. Take breaks after every high-stress situation to reset your own emotions. Remember, your job is to stay steady, not to fix everything. When you practice calm under pressure, you show younger ones that strength isn’t loud—it’s the quiet ability to think clearly even when fear tries to lead.
