Hope is not a strategy!  Think-Grow-Reflect is .... 

1.   🧠 Think

• Purpose: Spark awareness.
• Action: Explore prompts, questions, or challenges that get them thinking about feelings, choices, and perspectives.
• Physical Cue: A themed 3D object (ex: a key for “unlocking ideas,” a magnifying glass for “looking closer”).
• Outcome: Builds vocabulary and self-awareness around emotions.

2.  📈 Grow

1. Purpose: Practice and progress.
2. Action: Try out strategies or activities (journaling, sensory play, role-play, small challenges) that stretch their skills.
3. Physical Cue: Sand play, rakes, building objects — something that represents growth/change over time.
4. Outcome: See emotional skills as things they can practice and develop, not traits they’re stuck with.

3.  🔎 Reflect

• Purpose: Make meaning.
• Action: Pause to look back — What worked? How did I feel? What will I do next time?
• Physical Cue: A smooth stone, mirror token, or reset tool that invites calm reflection.
• Outcome: Kids internalize lessons and start to connect reflection with resilience.

4. 🔄 The Cycle

• Kids repeat the cycle over 12 days (or weeks), one small step at a time, or just roll the dice to change things up!
• The physical box + objects = anchor.
• The guidebook = structure.
• The journal prompts = continuity.

It’s both hands-on (tactile) and heads-on (mental).
