Lesson 5 of 9

Describe: facts only

About 5 min

The goal

Put plain, factual words on what you notice.

Do it step by step

  1. 1

    Pick a small recent moment that bugged you.

  2. 2

    Write what a camera would have recorded — who, what, where. No opinions.

  3. 3

    Add body sensations: "hot face", "fast heartbeat".

  4. 4

    Add thoughts as thoughts: "I had the thought that…".

For parents

Model it out loud about your own day. Hearing a parent describe without blaming is powerful.
