### 🧰 Behavior Strategy Toolkit

This toolkit offers **over 80 behavior strategies** designed to support children in calming down, focusing, building confidence, and feeling safe. These strategies are useful at home, in classrooms, and during community activities.

Use this guide to find what works best for each child. You can combine strategies, adjust them to fit the situation, or use a pendulum or your own intuition to select the most helpful approach.

📥 **Printable charts and handouts coming soon!** You may also request a copy directly from Laurie.
