This is a resource I use with my guys:

• Learning journey - things I’m asking them to spend their time doing each day (for me it’s practical things like make their beds, put clean clothes away - and then BSL, Maths, English and Duolingo) - and why I’m asking. (This is also helpful to show the Local Authority)

• Things they want to spend time doing and why.

• Thinking about them - what excites them? What interests them? What do they want to learn more about?

• Their goals for this month

• Adventures they want to go on this month

• End of the month run down - how did they get on with their goals? What skills did they learn? What did they love? What did they hate?

• A daily checklist - my biggest one to stop hearing, “what do I need to do now/what are we doing today?” These have ‘Gratitude’ ‘Reconnect’ ‘Journal’ and ‘Move’ already on there to go with the home ed A5 planner.

• Shopping list to stick on your fridge - if anyone uses the last of something, stick it on the list!

• To - Do list

• Daily jobs - another for the fridge - in our house we stick this on and everyone ticks of one (they choose any) each day.

• Deep clean jobs - this one is mainly for me, but I’ve found that if I have something like this on the fridge, one of them will randomly follow it and do that job. It’s rare… but it happens!

• Budget planner - for them to begin learning about financial literacy.

These are things that have just helped streamline our rhythm instead and filter out a lot of questions that they don’t need to ask me! With 4 people asking me questions all day my head can get fried - so I created each of these with a purpose of building responsibility, accountability and to help me cling to my sanity!

Incase it helps - my kids are currently 8, 10, 12 & 14 and they all use all of these resources.

Every 2 months we’ll add the next 2 months’ worth to buy.
