When a certificate lands well

A small award goes a long way when it names something a child has actually done. Handy moments: the end of the week, finishing a tricky piece of work, a kindness you want to quietly encourage, the last day of term, or simply a child who needs to hear that they were noticed. The warmth is in the reason, not the border.
