Social Story: Fighting Is Not Cool – Making Safe Choices at School
This simple and child-friendly social story is designed to support young children who may be fighting, hitting or using physical behaviour at school, particularly when they believe fighting makes them look “cool” or impresses their friends.
The story helps children understand why fighting is unsafe, how it can make other people feel, and the positive choices they can make instead.
It encourages children to:
Keep their hands and feet to themselves
Understand that fighting can hurt others
Recognise that being kind and making safe choices is cool
Walk away from conflict
Use their words to solve problems
Ask a trusted adult for help
Feel proud when they make positive choices
Ideal for EYFS, KS1, SEND, behaviour interventions, pastoral support and 1:1 work.
This resource can be read regularly with a child to reinforce positive behaviour and provide clear, consistent reminders about staying safe at school.
