    XTERMIGATOR and the Plan-B Pocket: Tiny Backups for Big Surprises
    Jan 30 2026
    When a swamp day doesn't go the way a friend expected, XTERMIGATOR puts on his detective hat to show that surprises can become small, manageable clues. In this 10-minute monologue XTERMIGATOR introduces the Plan-B Pocket: a kid-friendly three-step routine to help children notice when a plan changes, pick one simple backup (a sensory tool, a short alternative activity, or a politely asked delay), and tuck that option into an imaginary pocket they can pull out later. The episode models gentle, strengths-based language for adults, includes a 60–90 second guided imagination practice where listeners build their own Plan-B Pocket and try a tiny backup, and offers classroom/home variations like shared Plan-B cards, visual pocket charts, and teacher scripts that invite choice without singling anyone out. Listeners leave with one clear action: make a Plan-B Pocket with a grown-up or friend and try it once this week to practice flexible thinking with kindness.
