Life often feels out of control for kids, happening to them. When they don't feel like they have any say in their day-to-day, they start looking for power in unpleasant ways. Making things even more difficult, their brains aren’t fully developed, making verbal instructions difficult to follow.
The best way to help kids (and ourselves!) is to give them a tool to support their developing brain and give them a sense of control — and then leverage that control for good. Mighty + Bright’s Daily Chart does just that.
Let your kids decide what order they get to do their "to do" list, helping increase their sense of responsibility and control. As each "to do" is completed, your child moves a magnet off the chart. As an added bonus, you'll find a dramatic decrease in stalling tactics and tantrums. Kids love the task of moving the magnets.
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.
