Introduce the concept of the Calm Countdown technique. Explain briefly the idea of counting down to help calm down when feeling overwhelmed. Emphasize that it's a fun and simple way to manage emotions.

Highlight and explain the step-by-step process of the countdown method. Encourage the student to listen and observe the visual cues. Remind them that each step is important for calming down.

Use role-playing to model how the steps work. Ask the student to mimic the actions and say the numbers out loud as part of the practice.

Present a simple scenario where the student's emotions might run high (e.g., a small disagreement or frustration). Prompt the student to apply the countdown technique in this context.

Close the session by reflecting on the experience. Ask the student questions to consolidate their learning and remind them to practice the technique whenever needed.
