Now, a caveat: Proactive Plan B is generally far preferable to Emergency Plan B, but there are some kids who have difficulty with Proactive Plan B because they have trouble remembering the specifics of the problems you’re trying to discuss. For these kids, the problem is only memorable and salient when they’re in the midst of it. Early on, Emergency Plan B may actually be preferable for these kids. I’ve found that many of these kids are able to participate in proactive discussions once Plan B becomes more familiar to them.
