This is not a checklist. No good/bad, no scores, no demerits. Knowing what's coming makes the mind feel easier — draw our day together with your child.

🌱 4 weeks · a little at a time
Pick just one new thing to add each week. Mark 🎉 on days you did it — it's okay not to. Blanks are fine too; no X's, no demerits. Each week the focus shifts a little — notice the day → easy moments → hard moments → prepare for next week.

This week, don't try to fix — just notice how our day is right now.

🌈 What we learned over 4 weeks — what helped us?
🫶 It's not about good or bad — it's about learning what helps.
If you drew even one thing today, that's enough. It's okay to skip the days you missed.
👪 For parents & caregivers
This is not a behavior checklist. No demerits, stars, or pass/fail. "Did it 🎉" is there for the child's own pride — not a box to check compliance.
Routine gives predictability, not control. Knowing what's coming calms the child's brain. Make it together, and just skip the days you missed. Start with what works · at the child's pace.
ADHD isn't a matter of willpower — it's executive function (getting started) that works differently. Support and environment are the keys. Please consult a professional about any concerns.
Cut these out and stick them on the wall or fridge in order. When a child can see what's coming, their mind feels easier. Use the blank cards for your own routines.
