Motivational and Educational Calendars for Children!
Have you ever talked to a young child about his or her perception of time? Ask a
child how long his or her previous summer vacation lasted, and the answer will
most likely be something like: "It was so cool. I was out of school forever."
Now, think about how long you thought that same summer lasted. In a snap of your
fingers, it was over.
When I began developing these calendars for children, it seemed to me that most
children have trouble grasping the concept of an entire year. They can, however,
eagerly anticipate an event that is only several months away.
As a family therapist, I also appreciate behavioral charts and organizers that
are focused on a short period of time. A child's chances of successfully
changing his or her behavior, or completing a specific goal, are greatly
enhanced if there is only a short period of time to focus on.
These calendars have been designed with those principles in mind. Additionally,
they are fun and designed to peak a child's interest in the topic. Each one is
laminated so it can be used again and again.
If you have a suggestion for any additional calendar topics, please send it to
me at: susan@uncommoncourtesy.com

The 14 Days to
Better Behavior calendar focuses on helping a child change one particular
behavior. A helpful worksheet accompanies the calendar with tips for encouraging
a child's success in making a specific behavioral change.
