TITLE:
The Incident Report Conversation: What to Say at Pickup

DESCRIPTION
It's 5:00 PM, there's an incident report on the counter, and a parent is about to walk in smiling. In this episode, Isa walks you through exactly what to say at pickup when a child got hurt, or when a child hurt someone else. You'll learn what to do before the parent arrives, a simple four-part way to share what happened, and how to answer the question every teacher dreads: "Who did it?" You'll also hear what to say when a parent tells you "He doesn't do that at home," what to do when a parent gets upset no matter how well you handle it, and the ten-second check-in the next morning that builds more trust than anything else. Hard news doesn't have to damage the relationship. Handled well, it can make it stronger.

TITLE:
Biting, Hitting, and Throwing: What to Do in the First 60 Seconds

DESCRIPTION:
A child gets bitten, hit, or struck by a flying block, and suddenly every eye in the room is on you. In this episode, Isa walks you through exactly what to do in the first 60 seconds: how to stop the behavior with just a few words, who to go to first, what to do with the child who did the hurting, and how to calm the rest of the room. You'll also learn what not to say, how to spot the pattern behind the behavior, and what to do when it happens again five minutes later. You'll leave with a simple five-word roadmap you can use tomorrow: Stop. Support. Settle. Study. Teach.

It doesn't mention the free guide or The Director's Club. If you want those links listed underneath, as in your earlier show notes, I can add that section.

Title:
Should Teachers Join the Play—or Step Back? Finding the Right Balance

Description

Should teachers jump into children’s play—or sometimes leave it completely alone? In this episode of The Teacher’s Lounge Podcast, Isa explores what research tells us about the teacher’s role in child-led play and why the answer isn’t simply “join in” or “stay out.” From watching before you enter and helping a child find their way into a group, to adding materials, asking questions, introducing a small challenge, and knowing when to step away, you’ll learn practical ways to support play without taking it over. Because sometimes great teaching means stepping in—and sometimes it means knowing when to step back.
