My daughter has a lot of trouble staying on track when getting ready in the mornings and evenings, so I thought we'd give this a try. We bought the daily routine kit. We keep one on the fridge for the morning routine, and one in her bedroom for the nightly routine.
Could I make it myself? As their website says: probably. But the quality *would* be worse and it would take me a lot of time to do, and would not save me that much money.
The resin magnets are a very nice quality, and the stickers are more like clings (think window clings), which means they are
1) reusable,
2) easy to change in and out if we need to change something in the routine, and
3) not easily destroyed by a 5-year-old eager to help peel them and put them on the magnets.
#2 doesn't sound so important, but she cycled between a few things she wanted as part of her routine before finally settling, so this was instantly a very handy feature.
The routines are still not going perfectly, but they ARE better. She's very excited to move the magnets over, and she likes to show it off to anyone who visits. I'm planning to buy the weekly calendar, as well, and then maybe offer a reward (extra time at the park or something, I honestly haven't thought it totally through) if she sticks to the routine all week.
Highly recommend if your kid needs the extra motivation to *put on pajamas for the hundredth time, omg*.
Thanks!
This is a brilliant system. We've just been using it for a week, and my 13 y o daughter with ADHD is loving the autonomy it gives her to self manage and stay focused on the right things. My husband is finding that his task
charts help prevent overwhelm from morning and evening family routines. I am optimistic that this system is going to favorably shift the way our household operates long term!
This system has been great for our family! I keep finding more items to order. It’s so much fun and helps us all stay organized!
We got magnets and chores and set up a calendar. Anyone who did a chore just sticks it on the date. It makes it easy to see what needs done if we have free time and energy.
This system has been working so well for my kids that I decided to buy more for my husband and me to have our daily chores on a centralized checklist. Our family has been having fun creating our schedules and checklists with the cute reusable stickers and magnets. Such a great system! I highly recommend!
These magnets and stickers are a great system to keep things running smoothly in our home!
Great little magnets that hold well to the charts. I've written on and cleaned off a few easily, and moved stickers easily. Strongly recommend if you use the bigger charts
I wish I would have known about these visual tools sooner! I heard of M&B through KC Davis. I'm a SAHM (former teacher) and using these sets has been helpful in so many ways. It breaks down the overwhelming task of keeping house (especially with a full time toddler around) into smaller steps of your choosing. Instead of feeling like there's 1,000 things to do, there's only 14. On a day where you feel like you got nothing done, you can at least see, "Oh yeah, I did take out the trash, start the laundry, unload the dishwasher, provide snacks, etc." It really helps you visually track your progress, no matter if you complete the whole chart everyday or not (I don't).
The illustrations themselves are also so vibrant and joyful to look at, so it's proudly displayed on our fridge, and I really look forward to using it everyday. Thank you for the wide variety of stickers your offer! I purchased a separate chart for my toddler, and we use it to work our way through his AM/PM routines. He loves to use whatever mama is using! It is a pricey investment up front, but it is top notch quality and this will get years and years of use from our family.
I already have some magnetic steel charts on my fridge -- but now I've got a chart by my bedroom door focused on self-care just for me. This has stayed stuck to my wall (even though it's a bit bumpy) and has helped me focus on taking care of myself when it's hard.
My daughter was so excited to start planning her day the night before. It really helped her see all the time in the day and what she can accomplish.
Exactly what my daughter needed!
I love that I can write in the magnets. I’m using them to plan meals for each week, so making them reusable/multi-use is perfect!
Let’s put it this way. It’s made such a big shift that I’m writing this review (which I NEVER DO) to get 10% so I can get more!
As a Mom of two ADHD kids keeping them on track is a daily challenge. The task bracelet and visual checklists are a game changer. Could you make this yourself? Of course but who has time for that? It's a well made product that is worth the money.
These magnets will help to keep our schedule throughout the year- not just the M-F through the school year. So worth it!
I’m an SLP/BCBA in addition to a mom. This is the best system I’ve found for a visual calendar and chore chart!
I don't know wht Mighty and Bright products work so well, but they do. My child is highly motivated to complete her tasks now and we don't fight over me nagging her. Brilliant!
This is so much better than a wipe off board schedule. This schedule makes it simple to see what's happening for the week. It brings security, ease and peace when so much is changing in their lives.
We love all of our purchases from Mighty and Bright. They have been so helpful for my daughter and I. I don't have to constantly remember all of her things. Now she can be responsible for herself. The calendar has really helped me too. I was feeling over- scheduled. When I put everything on the calendar and could see it at all glance I realized every day was too full. I've been able to cut out unnecessary things and simplify my life in any really positive way.
This is so helpful for my kids to know what to expect. It’s easy to use and durable quality.
We love our new schedule to help our preschooler plan her week. I will recommend it to anyone with kids!
