How to use it so it gets finished
Print the calendar a day or two before the month starts, then sit down with your child and write the three goals together. Do not write them for him: five minutes of conversation while writing creates a commitment that no ready-made, perfect calendar will produce.
Then hang it somewhere he sees daily — his bedroom door, or near where the family prays — and leave the pencil beside it. The one strict rule: he marks it, not you, and do not ask every evening whether he has. The moment he puts the mark down himself is the entire reward.
And agree in advance on one day a week when he is excused one goal. This defuses the "I broke the streak, so it is over" logic, which is what kills most habits in their second week.
Frequently asked questions
How do I print the calendar?
Press the "Print the calendar" button at the top of the page. The usual print dialogue opens: choose your printer there, or "Save as PDF" in the destination field. The site's menus and buttons do not print.
How many goals should the calendar have?
Three, no more. A calendar with three goals gets finished in thirty days; one with ten is abandoned on day four. Choose what genuinely matters this year and leave the rest for next.
From what age does it suit a child?
From around five, provided the goals are symbols or small pictures rather than written words. Children who read fluently should write their own goals, which is far better than you writing them.
Can I use it in class?
Yes, print one copy per pupil without limit. What is not allowed is selling it or republishing it on another site.
