                                                                                                                                         • Magical Powers and Imps Notebook: Ask each child to take a notebook and make a list of magical
                                                                                                                                         powers and imps they encounter, find, or cope with during the week. In a weekly summary session,
                                                                                                                                         the children will share what they wrote or drew, with each other. In individual therapy I recommend
                                                                                                                                         having the child fill out the notebook between sessions (with the parents' help if needed) then read
                                                                                                                                         from the notebook together in each session.
                                                                                                                                         I recommend using the "The Soul Creatures' Land" workbooks.

                                                                                                                                         to make a list of what they saw, on a dedicated board. The aim is to cultivate the ability to observe
                                                                                                                                         the behavior of others and to identify whether this behavior is influenced by an imp or a magical
                                                                                                                                         power. For this task they may use the cards and stick the corresponding ones on the board.
