What you’re getting

Small, practical and ready to print.

Hurry up has never once made a seven-year-old faster. Say This Instead is a two-page printable PDF of calm, short lines for the four moments that go wrong most: mornings, leaving the park, after school and bedtime.

Each moment has two swaps. Instead of "Hurry up!", try "Shoes, then bag." Instead of "How was school?", try "What made you laugh today?" Fewer words and one next step, so there's less to argue with.

Inside
- Page 1: the fridge sheet. Eight swaps in four bands, plus a box for a swap of your own.
- Page 2: Pocket reminders. Ten cards to cut out and stick by the door, in the car or by the bed. Two are blank for your own lines.

Pick one swap a week. It sticks better than eight at once.

You get Classic and Warm colour styles in A4 and US Letter: four fillable PDFs, ready to download straight away. Nothing is shipped.

Good to know: everyday phrases from a parent's toolkit. It's not therapy or a behaviour programme.

Made by a dad and qualified teacher.

For use in your own home. Please don't resell or share the files publicly.
