Why I make printable guides
While a lot of information is on the internet, sometimes it just doesn’t beat holding a piece of paper in your hand and making some markings on it with a pencil or pen. Here are some pdf guides (aka action plans aka worksheets) that accompany some of the blog posts.
Sleep
Download the 8 tips to teen sleep checklist. Setting up your child for a successful day starts with the night before. Check off each tip as you and your child work on improving the bed time routine. Learn more information about these 8 tips and the scientific studies behind those recommendations in this post. Read more here about how screen time affects kids’ sleep and some suggested ways to balance screen time and sleep.
Mental Health
Download the mental health action plan. Customize it with your own calming and helpful activities and encouraging circle of people. It might be helpful to review it at least twice a year as your interests, preferences, mental health status, and support community may change. Print out extra copies to have on hand for those modifications. The first one is black and white, and the second one is a color copy. Read more about how to help your child if they seem anxious or depressed and how to check in with your teen. Check out my favorite resources for mental health here.
Acne

Managing Screen Time
Have your kids do SCREEN time before getting screen time. Want more on how to manage screen time? Here are some tips from a pediatrician and here is more on how sleep can be interrupted by screen time.
Also, how about letting your kids earn screen time by completing these EARN tasks? Easy to remember and sets up a good habit. As I tell my kids, eventually, they will have to make good choices on their own. I won’t always be around to boss them around. This is an easy visual checklist for them to remind them before they reach for their screen, and hopefully, the habit eventually turns this into an internal mental checklist.
