Lesson Overview

1.5 – Using “Safe Words” With Your Kids During Fights: Safe words give families a pause button when anger escalates too fast. They act as an emotional signal meaning, “We need space before someone gets hurt.” Agree on a word or phrase together—something neutral like “time-out” or “banana”—that anyone can use without judgment. Teaching children to recognize their rising emotions helps them manage conflict before shouting or tears take over. Parents should model using the safe word calmly and respecting it when said by others. This practice rewires the brain to connect stopping with safety, not punishment. It keeps the home from turning into a battlefield and turns tension into teamwork. Over time, using safe words teaches emotional control, respect, and the value of cooling down before communicating again.
