The Calendar Program: Special for Little Ones!

The Calendar Program is not only my favorite, but it’s also the one I’ve been using the longest, and for good reason! This program is an amazing tool that will transform how your child understands time, routines, and important events at home.

Key Benefits:

1. Insight into Home Life: The calendar helps children grasp what’s happening in their home—whether it's family traditions, upcoming events, sports practices, or even your expectations. They'll be able to communicate what they understand about their routines and schedules.
2. Understanding Special Events: One of the most frequent questions from young children is, “How many more days until…?” This calendar takes care of that! It allows your child to count down the days to events like parties, holidays, or special activities. The visual tool helps them prepare and gives them a sense of anticipation without constant reminders from you.
3. Teaching Time and Counting: As your child uses the calendar, they will begin to count the days themselves and understand the concept of time. This fosters independence and responsibility as they manage their own schedule.
4. Reinforcing Expectations and Rewards: This calendar also becomes a negotiation tool. You can now decide when a child will receive a reward for completing tasks. Instead of offering immediate rewards, you can delay the reinforcer—whether it's a prize, a special treat, or an activity—by setting a date on the calendar. This is a great way to teach your child patience, and they’ll have a clear visual of when their reward is coming.
5. Complementing the Daily Routines Program: When paired with the Daily Routines Program, this calendar gives you the flexibility to set goals for the day, week, or month. For example, you can let your child know that a special treat is coming next week or next month—and they’ll understand because it’s mapped out on the calendar.

Important Reminder:

• Safety First: If your child is still at an age where they put small items in their mouth, be careful. Small calendar pieces can be a choking hazard, so be sure to place the calendar higher where they can’t reach it, especially if you have a very young child at home.
