In short
A break card gives your child a way to ask for a break without having to say it out loud. They can point to it, touch it or hand it to you.

How do I use it?
- Practice when your child is calm: hand them the card, then give a short break straight away.
- Keep the card somewhere your child can always reach it.
- Each time they use it, honour the break, even if it is short.
- Over time, your child can start using it on their own, in the moment.
