Parent Scripts for Public Behavior Moments

Pre-written language you can lean on when you don't have words left. Pick one or two and rehearse them.

01

When someone stares

  • “We're alright — thank you.”
  • “Please give us a little space.”
02

When someone gives advice

  • “We have a plan — thank you.”
  • “We're working with our team on this.”
03

When staff ask what is happening

  • “We're taking a moment — we'll let you know if we need help.”
  • “A quieter spot nearby would help.”
04

When another child comments

  • “My kiddo needs a quiet minute — thanks for understanding.”
05

When a family member criticizes

  • “This is what works for our family.”
  • “We can talk about it later — not in front of him.”
06

When you need space

  • “Please step back — we've got this.”
07

When you need to leave

  • “We're heading out. Thank you.”
08

When you want to thank someone helpful

  • “Thank you — that meant a lot.”
