Stop." "Stop." "Stop." — and nothing changes. Here's why.
When a child is in a Red-Light moment, their brain is hijacked.
They're not choosing to ignore you. They literally cannot hear you.
This is when you stop saying "stop" — and become the Safe Captain instead.
Try this: "I'm going to help you find a safer way to use that energy right now." ⚓️
That one line creates a connection before correction.
And connection is what actually works.
