Questions parents ask
What should I give an award for?
Small, real things work best: sitting through a haircut, trying again after a hard moment, or being gentle with a younger child. Naming the exact thing helps your child know what you noticed.
Can teachers and therapists use it?
Yes. Print as many as you like. Leave the name empty to fill in each one by hand.
Can I change the words?
Yes. The title, the wording and the name signed at the bottom can all be changed before you print. Leave the signature empty to sign it by hand.
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.
