Sick of saying “no” and getting big reactions? Audra shares an easy-to-remember acronym—R.E.D.O.—to help reframe your redirections and get more buy-in from students without the meltdown.

💡 Teach them it’s not “No forever,” it’s “Yes, just not yet.”

🔑 Key Takeaways
✅ R – Reframe the No: Say what they can do instead
✅ E – Engage with Warmth: Invite, don’t command
✅ D – Define the Next Step: Be clear about what’s first/next
✅ O – Offer Motivation: Use reinforcers that actually matter to that learner
✅ “Yes… after…” can prevent behavior and build trust
