- Part One — The anatomy of a public meltdown: four causes, four fixes, the four-step response
- Part Two — The supermarket: the five decisions before you go in, the till, the floor protest
- Part Three — Restaurants and cafés: the arithmetic problem, the kit, the outside reset
- Part Four — The car and the car seat: the buckle standoff and longer journeys
- Part Five — Planes, family gatherings, playgrounds and the formula for leaving anywhere
- Planner — Pattern log, pocket card, before-you-go plan, scripts cards, outing checklist, practice tracker
