The decision they practise
In “The boy at the barrier”, a face-to-face conversation, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “How a child gets drawn in”; and “Report today, or wait for more?”.
