A planner and a tracker solve different problems — this one is built for laying out what's actually happening each day, printing cleanly on a single page for the week ahead.
Name: Week of:
| Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A weekly planner lists the actual tasks and activities planned for each day, similar to an adult's calendar, rather than tracking whether a specific behavior happened or measuring progress toward one goal. See our behavior reward chart or goal tracker if what you actually need is one of those instead.
Filling it out together, especially at first, teaches the planning skill itself rather than just handing over a finished schedule — older children can gradually take over filling it out independently. Ask your child to suggest one item for each day rather than dictating the whole week.
Three to five is usually enough for a child's planner — listing every small task turns the planner into a chore itself, while a shorter list keeps it genuinely useful as a quick daily reference.
