Break Card: When having your child perform a non-preferred task, provide them opportunities to take a break once the task is complete. Teach your child how to use the card before they will need it rather than waiting for frustration to escalate and then teaching them how to use it. For example, if you are having your child work on finishing a puzzle, after they are done, hand them the break card and allow them to engage in a preferred activity (swinging, painting, play dough, etc). Save highly preferred activities to pair with breaks to be offered only after completing a non-preferred task.
