Principles

  • child-first decisions
  • written communication
  • neutral tone
  • short messages
  • documented agreements

Rules that protect you

  1. Use one channel. No random calls.
  2. Keep it factual. No emotions. No history.
  3. Respond on schedule, not instantly.
  4. Don't argue accusations. Answer logistics only.
  5. If it escalates, pause and return to facts.
