Moments of challenge are part of every early learning environment — a toy breaks, emotions rise, a transition doesn’t go to plan.Within WholeChild Flow™, these moments are called ripples.

The Ripple Guide supports educators to pause, regulate, and respond with intention, using shared language and a clear repair framework that protects emotional safety and strengthens relationships.

Rather than focusing on behaviour management, this guide reframes challenges as signals for connection, understanding, and growth.

Inside this guide, educators will learn how to:

• Recognise everyday challenges as ripples, not problems

• Use calm, neutral ripple language with children, teams, and families

• Support regulation before problem solving

• Guide children through repair without shame or blame

• Embed reflective, strengths-based practice into daily routines
