Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

When It Is Used

Use this practice when a parent is learning how to respond to a child's requests for help, reassurance, or decisions during child-led play.

What It Captures

The tool captures situations, child cues, parent response examples, optional parent uncertainty, completion state, and practitioner feedback.

Important Limit

The tool does not make automated safety decisions or tell the parent when adult action is required. Those judgments remain practitioner-entered feedback.

Does the tool give safety advice?

No. It lets the practitioner flag examples for limit-setting or safety discussion, but it does not provide automated safety instructions.

Can parents enter real play situations?

Yes. The practitioner can choose parent-entered real situations instead of practitioner-provided situations.

What is saved from the demo?

The tool and selected reusable setup are saved. Demo responses and fictional sample situations are not saved as real client data by default.
