For parents who want to put the kids first during and after a divorce, this unique magnetic co-parenting calendar for kids helps reduce stress and anxiety by showing kids what to look forward to and what to anticipate.
Kids don't cope well with change, and that's especially true during and after divorce. Even when they've had two homes for years, they may struggle with understanding when they'll see each parent or cope with stress and anxiety. This calendar is the solution.
Works perfectly with Sara's Amazon best-selling book,What Happens When Parents Get Divorced, which explains what divorce is and how it affects a child's day-to-day.
Made of heavy-duty, thick steel with a tough outer coating, this magnetic chart will stand up to years of sticky fingers.
Write directly on the board (and your magnets!) for tons of flexibility. Or use Sharpie, then remove it with hand sanitizer.
Attaches to magnetic surfaces like a refrigerator, or walls using our push-pin hooks.
Weekly: fits 4 magnets per day
Daily: fits 7 magnets per row
Use one week at a time, or create an always up-to-date perpetual calendar with multiple weeks
Kids feel safest when they know what to expect. A weekly calendar helps kids to understand their lives more clearly — and having a calendar of their own empowers them. See, life happens to kids — but when they know the plans and feel like they've had a say in some of it, they don't need to struggle for power every day.
For kids, building self-confidence includes knowing what's expected of them, so they have the opportunity to succeed!
As each "to do" is completed, your child moves a magnet off the chart. Have them help you construct the routine, helping increase their sense of responsibility and control. As an added bonus, you'll find a dramatic decrease in stalling tactics and tantrums. Kids love the task of moving the magnets.
I am so happy to have received my foster care calendar. The calendar and magnets are really high quality so I know that they will last through many placements. The customer service was also incredible and so personal. I accidentally received the wrong sticker pack and they quickly sent me the correct ones with no hassle or fuss. I’d highly recommend this for foster families with young children or illiterate children!
I am so grateful for this calendar- it has been a complete game-changer! My partner works 12 hour shifts and has a schedule that varies from week to week. With this calendar, my son knows when Daddy will be home to put him to bed, be able to take him to school/pick him up (he looks for the magnet with blue scrubs that I drew with wet erase markers). It has been especially helpful through winter break, and as we transition him to a new school. There are fewer anxious questions like: “Do l have school today?, Is Daddy going to work today?”, and if he does ask, we look at the calendar together. I am also impressed at how sturdy it is. I have dropped the glass magnets countless times, and they are still in one piece. I purchased the holiday sticker/school break set as well, and I’m so pleased to see how inclusive it is- every holiday imaginable.
We have always been transparent with our child about what’s happening beforehand but having a visual tool is beyond helpful. We love completing it together every Sunday, and has really made us feel more connected. Highly recommend!
When I found out I would need to get radiation treatment, I searched for tools to help explain it to my 7-years-old. First we started with the routine daily chart, then the calendar for him. Then we read Cancer Party (I don’t have cancer but wanted something that explained radiation, so I tried very hard to describe it distinctly). The next day, I set up my calendar. We have them all in a central location and he has enjoyed planning the weeks and creating the daily chart routines.
This was a tremendous help to our family and has/will give me support in knowing my child can feel safe with this change in our life.
We love the connection calendar. Each week we sit down together to map out the week. It has really helped our family connect on a consistent basis and our girls absolutely love it!
I pair the visual calendar with the Mr. Chazz set and it’s been so helpful for my neurodivergent son to know what to expect. School starts soon, and I know it’ll be a game changer for us! Love this set so much!!

The magnets are high quality, my only complaint is some of the peel of stickers are impossible to get off the backing!

I'm beyond impressed with the research and care that went into designing Mighty and Bright's products. My kiddo is only 2.5 and a bit too young to make the most of the calendar but he loves the books and putting together and playing with the magnetic buttons has still been a great way for us to talk through all the changes happening at home and identify the types of activities that bring us all joy. I'm hoping to keep using this product long after treatment to help establish and maintain healthy routines--and I've been recommending the products to parents I meet in my cancer support group.
