Description
Support middle and high school students with emotional regulation, impulse control, flexible thinking, and responsible decision-making using this teen-friendly Stop–Think–Choose Boom Card deck. Each card presents a realistic situation involving changes, unfairness, losing, corrections, waiting, being told “no,” disagreement, or feeling controlled. Students respond to three prompts: STOP: How will you pause before reacting? THINK: What are the facts, assumptions, and things you can control? CHOOSE: Which response best protects your goal? The open-response format encourages students to explain their reasoning rather than select one predetermined answer. Responses are intended to be reviewed by the teacher, therapist, counselor, or caregiver.
