Response chains are ways we interact with the world. An event triggers a thought, which triggers an action, which results in a consequence. Children benefit from learning to identify their emotions and resulting actions. This resource consists of picture-and-text cards that are arranged in response chains. This way, the child learns relevant vocabulary, is exposed to examples of typical response chains (two positive and two negative chains) and, if they can read, has the change to fill out the included worksheet to identify a response chain of their own. The worksheet also includes a part on improving response chains to avoid negative behaviour in the future.
