How to use it
- Choose or design a badge for an effort you want to recognize.
- Name the step in your own way, including pausing, asking for help, trying, or revising a plan.
- Keep the badge private, share it, or pass.
Reflection prompts
- What effort does the badge recognize?
- What made the step meaningful to you?
- What support or rest belongs after the step?
Facilitator guidance
Recognize effort and chosen action, not compliance, winning, fearlessness, or symptom absence. Never use badges to pressure exposure or disclosure.
Adaptations & accessibility
- Offer stickers, stamps, digital badges, or a verbal acknowledgment.
- Let the child create a symbol without naming the event.
- Include badges for stopping, asking, planning, resting, and trying again.
