Hard Things Calendar









Here's a weekly calendar to let your child practice doing
 the "hard" things that they have to do.  









You can gather a few supplies to make the calendar.

You can make a template on your computer or
simply draw a chart with 8 squares.
Crayons or markers and scissors
and, as an option,
laminating sheet and magnets







You can type the name of the day
or have your child write it
or write it for them.


















Next, talk with your child about the hard things that
God tells them to do through those who are in 
authority over them, 
and let them draw a picture of each
task on each day.

Some examples would be picking up toys, playing nicely with siblings, eating vegetables, going to bed without arguing,
taking turns on a swing, etc.  

Once you have something to practice
each day, 
you can laminate the page, if you wish.



To make it more fun, you can cut the days apart,
then put a magnet on the back so these can stick to a refrigerator or other surface.

(You can purchase a sticky-back magnet roll at Walmart.  Or  reuse those magnets that businesses send out in the mail by cutting them and using a glue stick to put on the back of each day.)
