# Connection And Repair

Use when this capability directly owns the requested outcome.

## Procedure
1. Regulate the adult side of the interaction before attempting repair.
2. Acknowledge the child's experience without pretending unacceptable behavior was acceptable.
3. Own any adult behavior that crossed a line and apologize specifically when appropriate.
4. Reconnect, restate the boundary, and identify what both sides can do differently next time.

## Output standard
Give a concrete result, decision aid, or next action. Keep assumptions visible and hand off work outside this skill's domain.
