1. Pick one ordinary situation
Use a fictional example if you prefer. Avoid a list of everything that has ever gone wrong.
2. Make one clear request
“Could we [specific action]?” Discuss what an agreement would involve.
3. Ask before fixing
“Would you like listening, ideas, or practical help?”
4. Try a small follow-up
Choose one activity you both agree to. Practice independently if a shared conversation is unsuitable. Education does not replace support for unsafe or serious situations.
Practice privately or with fictional examples. Do not enter anyone’s personal details. Our content is education, not therapy.
