The Gift & The Gap Card Deck

A practical, playful toolkit that helps families build skills, deepen connection, and grow—one small prompt at a time.

The Gift & The Gap Card Deck is a research-informed set of learning cards and guided prompts, designed to help children (and their parents) strengthen the core skills inside the Gift & The Gap framework. Each card teaches a micro-skill, sparks meaningful reflection, or invites a short practice you can apply right away.

Every card belongs to one of the central pillars of the method—Practice, Play, Learning, and Refinement—making it easy to focus on exactly what your child needs in the moment.
