The Spirit of Speak Up Signal
Speak Up Signal is designed to give children another way to communicate when they don't yet have the words or don't feel safe saying them out loud. The kit is intended to support calm conversations within the home. It should never be used as a punishment, reward, or disciplinary tool.
1. Household Guidelines:
- Shared Understanding: Introduce Speak Up Signal during a calm moment so everyone understands how it will be used.
- Respect the Signal: When a child uses the Speak Up Light or leaves a note, respond calmly and when appropriate. They shouldn't feel pressured to explain immediately.
- Keep it Supportive: Speak Up Signal should never be used to punish, shame, or force conversations.
