Although this Life Guide focuses on soccer, the skills and strategies can be applied to many types of shared play with peers. The first few pages are shown in the product images for preview.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout this Life Guide, there are 5 Thinking Questions that gently encourage a child to reflect on their learning. One complimentary token board and tokens are also included. The token board can be used for any task, including practicing the 5 Thinking Questions and playing safely with other children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease laminate the token board or place it in a sheet protector for ongoing use. If you wish to use the provided tokens, the cut tokens can also be laminated and used with Velcro. You may also use an erasable marker to make check marks instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maximize motivation and the effectiveness of the token board, please decide what the child is working for (reward) and write it down on the token board before the child begins collecting tokens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease also ensure that the child receives a token immediately after showing the desired behaviour, correct answers, and any attempts or effort to respond, depending on the unique expectation for the child, and receives the reward as soon as they earn all the tokens. This helps the child meaningfully understand that the desired behaviour is what leads to earning the token and receiving the reward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital and Print-Friendly Format\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Life Guide PDF file is optimized for both digital reading and printing at home or school. \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eTo ensure the best print quality, please print this Life Guide on \u003cstrong\u003eA4 paper size \u003c\/strong\u003e(8.27 × 11.69 inches).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eAfter purchase, you will receive a download link by email.
