Are there any weekly (or monthly) planners out there clear enough (and appealing) for young children to follow maybe with a reward chart system build in? I could draw one up but rather it was something reusable


Trying to get the 6 year old to remember school events/activities and to practice voilin/piano/do homework etc.

Got the same problem. Bought a few bags of really nice beads from John Lewis and they can earn one for practice / reading / generally helpful around the house etc. When the jar is filled, there's the promise of a treat.....or could do when they get X number. The beads are really pretty so they like choosing. (Haven't worked out yet that the bigger ones fill the jar quicker - but sure they'll learn!!)


They know the concept of pebbles / pom-poms etc from school so it ties in well. And depending on how big the jar is, they can get rewards quickly or work towards something more major. Also has the benefit of being able to take away a bead if they don't play by the rules!!

I don't know about wall planners but what really works in our house for music practice is having a set time - 8:15am is a good time every day when our 7 year son will do his 15 min instrument practice (alternating each day between drum kit & keyboards). I've been really pleased with the result as I don't have to nag and he just accepts this as practice time.

    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
