A simple shape you can return to every session — adapted by you to the child in front of you. Safety first, language without demand, then a small step toward identity.
Safety first — the foundation everything is built on. Non-verbal entry; the child can point rather than speak.
A non-verbal check-in. The child points to where they are, before any talking is asked of them.
“I am enough.” “I belong.” The child picks what feels true — language offered without pressure.
The child picks a starting phrase — I could, I will, I might — setting how far they're ready to go.
One card the child chooses, often to take home. Their choice — agency stays with them.
The three-stage arc: modal verb → power card → identity. A chosen action linked to who they're becoming.
