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.

    • Thanks penguin  always wondered about that place and that’s way more info than I ever thought I would get  (used to live above a gun nut on friern road - he would tell me nothing)
    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
