# H03 · Give it a key at home

## Complete source

A paper cafe menu uses CUP for a cup drawing and PLATE for a plate drawing. A toy diner asks for PLATE.

## Day

123

## Family question

Would you like to keep this, change one thing, or stop here?

## Home access

Five to ten flexible unpiloted minutes, or one tiny start. Broad scrap paper and a helper are enough. No print/device/account/photo/food/cutting/private identifiers or public share. Pass/rest/private/return; helper roles recorded.

## Id

H03

## Invitation

Choose harmless pretend kitchen drawings and give them meaningful keys. Try an own idea before the adult reasoning; all own places start empty.

## Next offer

Leave CUP empty in an own draft and say that its item is not yet entered.

## Notice

An explicit key names its intended representation without a universal-symbol claim.

## Steps

1. Read or neutrally describe the complete source; ask which picture the child would like to find before showing a model.

2. PLATE returns the plate picture without food handling. Offer an own harmless item/key choice rather than require this supplied answer.

3. Make/direct one broad card or a faithful spoken/signed/AAC record. Show the given key or the child’s clearly stated own key.

4. Try one wanted request and keep only what actually happens; a picture/plan is not a real system encounter.
