De-escalate may be the mantra we need. I've been trained in Nonviolent Crisis Intervention methods for managing Emotionally Impaired Children. De-escalating the raw emotions of a tense situation is always the greatest portion of managing a peaceful resolution. Physical force is only used to prevent a student from hurting themselves or others.
