🎙️ Misfit Minute #2: W.A.I.T. – Why Am I Talking?
Sometimes, the most powerful support you can offer during a student’s escalation… is silence. Caitlin introduces the W.A.I.T. strategy ("Why Am I Talking?")—a simple but transformative tool for de-escalation and emotional regulation.
🔑 Key Takeaways
✅ Silence can be a strategy—not avoidance
✅ Extra words = extra demands during escalation
✅ Give students space to feel, process, and reset
✅ Speak with purpose: clear, calm, and kind
✅ “I’m here when you’re ready” can be magic
