WAIT! Sometimes the best response is NO response. 🤫
The Black Swan Group shares a powerful negotiation technique called dynamic silence.
When you raise an important concern during an IEP meeting, resist the urge to fill the silence. Give the other person time to respond.
Here's a simple reminder:
WAIT = Why Am I Talking?
Sometimes, staying quiet creates the space needed for accountability and meaningful answers.
Parents and advocates, don't rush to rescue someone from an uncomfortable question!
