The show is over and your child asks for another one. It is time to leave the playground and the asking turns into protest. You know the answer; what you need are the words to say it once, say it again, and not get pulled into explaining.

This kit is three short PDF files (each also included as a Markdown text file):

1. The Clear Limit Script Kit (6 pages): word-for-word scripts for when screen time ends, when your child asks again, when it is time to leave, and when tears or yelling start, with replies for lines like “One more!” and “You said I could watch!”

2. Hold the Limit: A Tantrum Cheat Sheet for Parents of Ages 2-5 (4 pages): what to do after you state the limit, what to say when the demand gets louder, everyday scripts (another show, a toy at the store, more snack, leaving the park, another bedtime story), and what to do if your child hits or the setting is unsafe.

3. Leaving the Playground: Hold the Limit with Care (6-page worksheet): a few written questions that help you separate your child’s upset from your reason for leaving, then pick one calm sentence and your next step.

For parents and caregivers of 2 to 5 year olds. It will not stop your child from being upset; it gives you steady words so the answer holds while the feelings pass.
