What it is
One thing first, then something good. These First / Then boards help kids get through the hard part of the day, and every board ends with an "I did it! I feel…" check. The "then" cards lean on connection and calm, like a hug, reading together or a calm spot, and helper cards teach kids to say "I need a break" or "I need help" instead of melting down.

Printing tips
Print on cardstock and laminate. Punch a hole in the mini boards and add a keyring. The cards are the same size as the Picture Schedules cards, so both sets mix. This is a digital file, so nothing will be shipped.
Terms of use
