An evidence-informed therapeutic resource for qualified practitioners working with children aged 6–12. Practitioner-led; not a diagnostic instrument and not a substitute for your clinical judgement. You remain responsible for consent, record-keeping, safeguarding and mandatory reporting within your own practice. This tool stores no client records centrally.

Session welcome video

Add welcome video tap to place a short clip

A calm opening the child sees first — a short welcome video to set the tone before the card work begins.

Stage Two

PILA settle cards

The session opens with the PILA deck — the settling layer. These cards carry no demands: lines like “I won’t rush you” signal that there is nothing to perform, so a guarded or dysregulated child can arrive at their own pace. Present each card and step it through unseen → active → shown as the child engages, then record what you observe in the practitioner notes beside each card. A settled child can reach for words — that is all this stage needs to achieve before the card work begins.

Security

Legal requirement

These markers record that each governance step was taken. They do not transmit anything — obligations apply under your own jurisdiction and workplace policy.

For the child — tap each PILA card to step it through unseen → active → shown as you present it, then capture the response in the practitioner notes.

Stage Three

Anchor — “I choose”

The child reads each phrase and taps the ones that feel true today. There are no wrong choices. Pair the chosen anchors with imagery in the holders beneath.

Tap the phrases that feel true today

Tap the phrases that feel true for you today.

Stage Four

Modal verb cards

The first language-building deck. The child selects one modal verb and the others close around it. Once they have their verb, move on to the power action cards on the next stage.

Modal verb cards — select one, the rest close

Stage Five

Power action cards

The second language-building deck, on its own page so it isn't crowded. On the power action deck the child chooses a card, and if they decide they don't want it they skip it and the card turns over. They can keep choosing — it repeats.

Power action cards — choose, or skip to turn the card over

No modal verb selected yet. Choose a modal verb on the previous stage, then pick power actions here — skip any the child doesn't want and it turns face-down.

Stage Six

Characters & the child's sentences

Each character is an identity arc — a modal verb, an action, and the strength it builds toward. Select an arc to compose the child's sentence. The composed sentences sit hidden at the base of the page; open them only when you want to review the child's chosen actions.

Characters — the child chooses one

Each character carries a power phrase. The child taps the character they want; their phrase appears below to talk through their intentions to act this week. Place each character's picture with the holder's Replace tool.

No character chosen yet — the child taps a character above.

Identity-arc reference (psychologist only)

Hidden by default — open to scroll through the arcs and find the one to review

Scroll through the arcs one sheet at a time, like a document, until you reach the one to review with this child.

Everything chosen this session

The cards the child reached for and what they built, gathered automatically. Copy it into your own client notes, or export it. Anything saved stays on this device only — use a client code, not a full name.

Use & responsibility

Power Phrase System is an evidence-informed therapeutic resource for qualified practitioners working with children aged 6–12. It is practitioner-led and not self-administering, is not a diagnostic or assessment instrument, and does not replace your clinical judgement. Within your own scope of practice you remain responsible for obtaining consent (guardian consent and child assent), keeping client records in your own system, and meeting your safeguarding and mandatory-reporting obligations. This tool does not store client records centrally — anything you save stays on this device only. Use a client code rather than a full name. If a child may be at risk of harm, follow your organisation’s safeguarding and mandatory-reporting procedures.
