Welcome to Skylark x Home Education!
This is the place for all mental health resources to help on your home ed journey… but, to be honest, you can also use them if your child’s at school!
Our school/home ed journey has been bumpy, if yours also feels like a mess and you just need to know you’re not alone, or to get some tips, you can grab our ‘Parents Survival Guide’ here 👇🏼
We felt like we’d been thrown into the deep end and were sinking fast when our second child went to school.
I sat with the kids to think about some of the things they thought, felt, said and did during those earlier years and how we’ve managed to survive all the chaos that came our way!
We hope it helps you feel less alone and more empowered while you find your feet in this season.
* Our eldest 2 didn’t go back to school after Covid, our 3rd went to preschool and was due to start in September 2020 but didn’t, and our youngest was signed up for a preschool but then they couldn’t open for another year so she hasn’t been to any nursery/preschool/school setting. *
We’ve been home educating for 6 years now and the freedom it’s brought me to really get to understand each of them, and dive into their mental health to give them as solid of a foundation as I can is something I’ll always be grateful for.
I created a planner initially for me, then realised how much they’d benefit the kids - there are different covers so that’s the reason for multiple options of each type!
👉🏼If you have a tween/teen really struggling to get out of bed/do anything - pick ‘Back On Track’
👉🏼If you have ADHD kids - ‘pick BIG 4 + checklist’
👉🏼If you have kids that are nailing life already but you want to build a solid foundation for their mental health as they grow - pick ‘BIG 4 ONLY’
I’ve got A LOT more home ed resources to add so keep checking or follow social media:
Insta & TikTok - @your.neurospicy.nurse
YouTube - @SkylarkHopeAndJoy
*Remember to also download ‘Back On Track extras’ for your A4 resources that go with this - I couldn’t add A4 & A5 to the same file so had to upload them separately*
This planner is a big one, it’s 200 pages just for Sept & Oct!
This one is for anyone who’s struggling with life and needing guidance, connection, and small changes that stack up to help you heal.
I’m just editing a longer video for YouTube @SkylarkHopeAndJoy , I’ll add a link here when it’s done! It’s just over 30mins so it goes into a lot more detail on the planner!
What it includes:
👉🏼 Quietening the noise around you and focusing on what you need to begin healing
👉🏼 Meal plans & shopping lists
👉🏼 Cleaning plans
👉🏼 Birthday & Christmas ideas
👉🏼 Goals
👉🏼 Mistakes
👉🏼 Fears
👉🏼 Prayer
👉🏼 Daily checklists - focused on your essentials, and the ‘big 4’ - reconnecting, gratitude, journaling & moving.
👉🏼 Diary
Every 2 months I’ll update with the next 2 months’ worth, there will likely be add ons as we go!
If you have any suggestions or pages you’d like added to help you, let me know and I’ll see if I can create them.
I’d you’d like us to print and send you this planner, head to ‘we’ll print & ship to you!’

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.
This download has the 4 reading journals that we currently use - the idea is that for people with more kids (like us!) you can save on what you’re buying if your kids would prefer different reading journals.
There’s 40% off when you buy all the versions of any of our downloads!
*** it comes as 1 file, so check after you’ve downloaded the PDF what pages you want to print before you start! ***
If you want space to connect without all the judgement that can come with social media - we’ve created a Skool community 👇🏼
* If you’re in a season where you don’t have the money for any downloads or to joint the Skool community - PLEASE email me, I want this to be accessible for everyone. *
