Day 1 · Notice

Spend a few quiet minutes noticing what your child chooses to do. Describe one thing without testing or correcting: “You put the blue block at the bottom.”

What caught their interest?

Day 2 · Listen

Invite a story about the day, or follow a younger child’s play. Ask one open question and allow a pause before speaking again.

What did I learn by listening?

Day 3 · Play

Let your child choose a simple shared activity. Agree on a manageable amount of time, then give it your attention.

What made us smile?

Day 4 · Appreciate

Name one specific act of effort or kindness you noticed. Invite your child to thank someone in a way that feels comfortable.

Who helped our family today?

Day 5 · Wonder

Compare two leaves, household objects or shadows. Ask what is similar and different. Sketch something new you noticed.

What question could we explore next?

Day 6 · Help together

Choose a small, safe task to share: arranging books, matching socks or setting out unbreakable cups. Make participation more important than speed.

What could we do together again?

Day 7 · Reflect

Share a favourite moment from the week. Choose one small ritual to keep. Let every family member offer an idea.

What should we keep, change or simplify?
