When Someone Disagrees With Me
I say my idea, and someone says a different idea.. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Sometimes I share an idea. Then someone says, "I think something different."
2. That might feel surprising. It might feel a little bad. I might think, "But my idea is good!"
3. My idea can still be good. Their idea can be good too. Two people can think different things.
4. Disagreeing is not the same as being mean. People can disagree and still be friends.
5. I can choose what to do. I can ask about their idea. I can explain mine again. I can say, "We think different things, and that is okay."
6. I can practice a calm answer.
7. After a disagreement, the day keeps going. Ideas come and go. Kindness is what people remember.

Sovelo Stories are original social narratives, written for neurodivergent kids and reviewed against strict guardrails: no eye-contact training, no masking, no mind-reading — and "no" is always a complete answer. Evidence-informed preparation, not a treatment. © Ezra Brown.
