Every hard moment has a card.

Meltdown
Full-body screaming, can't be reasoned with, nothing is working.
Too Much Energy
Bouncing off walls, can't sit still, needs to move NOW.
Bedtime Battle
Won't stay in bed, stalling, overtired and wired.
Crying / Won't Settle
Nothing obvious is wrong, just won't stop crying.
Won't Eat
Refusing food, turning away, mealtime falling apart.
Hitting / Aggression
Hitting, biting, throwing — big feelings coming out physically.
