How to use it
Start with our December ideas, or pick Any month for 31 of them.
Change any idea to suit your child and your week.
Print it and read the day’s idea together each morning.
Color in the box once it’s done, and talk about how it felt.
Make it last: print on cardstock, laminate it or slip it into a sheet protector, and use a dry-erase marker or Velcro dots so you can use it again.
Questions parents ask
Do the ideas cost anything?
No. Every idea is free and small enough for a young child, like holding a door or drawing a picture for a neighbor.
What if we miss a day?
Do it the next day, or skip it. The point is noticing other people, not a perfect month.
Can I write my own ideas?
Yes. Put one idea on each line: line 1 prints on day 1. To put an idea on a certain day, start the line with the date, like “14: Call Grandpa”.
Is my child’s name saved anywhere?
No. A name you type stays in your browser so it can print on the sheet. It is never sent to us.
Is it really free?
Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.
Read it with a story
This is a simple visual support for everyday routines, not a therapy or a treatment. If your child works with a teacher or therapist, they can tell you how it fits with what they already do. Picture symbols: Mulberry Symbols, CC BY-SA 4.0.
