FLIP IT® is a strategy that offers a simple, kind, strength-based, commonsense, and effective four-step process to address children’s day-to-day challenging behavior. The four steps are embodied in the FLIP mnemonic which stands for F – Feelings, L – Limits, I – Inquiries, and P – Prompts. FLIP IT is nothing new but transforms best practice into a strategy that is easy to remember, applicable in a variety of challenging situations, and portable. Learn more at www.moreFLIPIT.org.
