Quiz

This book had five questions at the end, so let’s start with question 6…

6. Did Zak's back pain improve in 1 day?

7. In this book Zoe imagines going on fun adventures with Zak (do you remember the rock climbing image?). What fun adventures would you like to do?

8. Zak's plan helped him to get back to school, and improving his movements (eg. walking, bending, and reaching). Often kids have many goals beyond going back to school. Do you think it would be possible to make a similar plan to Zak, for playing with a friend? Walking your dog? Helping parents with chores/duties at home?

9. Finding out how Zak dealt with pain helped Zoe to grow. What else would YOU like to find out now?

10. Learning requires practice, and retraining brain and body takes practice - MANY repetitions! What other things have you had to practice many times before seeing improvement? Eg.

Riding a bike
Playing piano
Magic tricks
Swimming
Reading
Speaking
Crawling
Monkey bars
Computer games

Our brains and bodies are always changing, and we can make the most of these changes to become the boss! In the next book we’ll learn to make an action plan
