Play guide

1. 1Have your child choose a real, useful life skill such as sewing on a button, basic first aid, reading a bus route, or managing a small budget.
2. 2Together, break the skill into a few clear can-do steps that show they have it (for example, thread a needle, then sew a button, then finish neatly).
3. 3Let them practise the steps over one or more sessions, with an adult alongside for any step that needs it.
4. 4When they can do each step confidently, have them show you the whole skill from start to finish.
5. 5Mark the milestone by making a simple certificate together listing what they can now do.
