Boundaries that work
When / Then Script Generator
Create predictable follow-through with When/Then language.
What it is
A simple template that helps you swap nagging and threats for one short When/Then sentence that makes the path forward obvious to your child.
When to use it
Around recurring sticking points — getting dressed, screens off, homework, leaving the park — where you're tired of repeating yourself.
How to use it
- Name the thing that needs to happen.
- Name the thing they want to happen next.
- Combine them: 'When X, then Y.'
- Say it once, calmly, and stop talking.
- Wait quietly — don't repeat or remind.
