How to use it
Choose a set, then change or add cards in words your child uses.
Print, cut along the dashed lines and keep the cards somewhere easy to reach.
Pick one together each morning, or read one before something new.
Questions parents ask
How do we use them?
Keep it short. Read one card together at breakfast or bedtime, or tuck one in a pocket before a big day. Saying it out loud together helps.
What if my child says the card isn’t true?
That’s okay. Start with cards that feel true already, like “I can try again,” and add others later. Don’t argue with the feeling.
Can they help with big worries?
They can be a comforting part of the day, but they aren’t a fix for everything. If worries get in the way of daily life, talk with your pediatrician.
Is my child’s name saved anywhere?
No. A name you type stays in your browser so it can print on the sheet. It is never sent to us.
Is it really free?
Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.
