Kid Planning Sessions

Schedule a time to have a planning session with each of your children.  I do my Kid Sessions on Sunday, choose whatever day you judge to be the spring board to when you reset your week. 

Adult Brings:

• Weekly Fridge Calendar/Planner
• Homemaker Binder
• Personal Calendar Book & To Do List Book
• Grocery/Errand List

Child brings:

• school backpack or homeschool binder
• homework clip

Here is a picture of my friend's list that she goes down and over with each child. 

I modified it and after our first session I think I'll be modifying it again to tailor it to our family's needs, but it will give you an idea of where to start and what to talk to your kids about.  Make columns on the right for however many kids you have.  Here's a link to my list (hope that works) or you can try to copy and paste it from below:
