The SMOOT System™ is a reflective, strengths-based communication model designed to support educators in moments of disruption — not by correcting behaviour, but by restoring flow.

Rooted in the Ripple-to-Repair Model™, SMOOT reframes challenging moments as ripples — neutral signals that something needs attention, understanding, and support. Rather than reacting or escalating, educators are guided through a calm, predictable process that builds emotional safety, co-regulation, and resilience for both children and adults.

This guide supports trauma-informed practice, emotional intelligence development, and strengths-based communication — making it ideal for early childhood settings, schools, and support environments.

Why Ripples?

A ripple represents impact, not blame.Every ripple invites us to pause, reflect, and restore connection.

Educators are reminded that:

• Problems are temporary

• Repair is always possible

• Relationships remain safe

• Every ripple can be smoothed with connection and understanding
