On request I have created a printable version of the “Pre-discipline checklist” here: https://nurshable.com/images-with-words/pre-discipline-checklist/

Feel free to distribute it freely as long as you link back to Nurshable.com as I will be updating it.

It roughly reflects the mental process that I go through before I discipline my children. It helps me stop, calm down, identify the behavior/cause of the behavior, and come up with a plan for how to deal with the behavior rather than simply reacting.

Feedback is welcome. 🙂
