Today we can choose Practise the same part, make it smaller, try another part together, or rest and plan again. There is no finishing deadline. Resolve the reason for a worry Address painful noise, bullying and access needs first. This is not an exposure exercise. For worries that persist or disrupt everyday life, seek individual advice from the school or a healthcare professional. First address practical problems such as painful noise, bullying or an inaccessible space. Never use a plan to override refusal of touch or contact with an unsafe person.
