← All planners
The homework battle grows from a tired child, a bad moment, and a parent turned supervisor. This planner replaces the standoff with architecture: a fixed slot, a chosen order, and a clear finish line.
What's inside
- A weekly homework grid with a start and end time
- "My order" cards — your child decides the subject sequence
- Built-in break timers and a distraction parking lot
- A parent-role card: available, not seated next to them
How to use it
Choose the slot with your child: after a snack and a real break
Let them order their subjects — that small power changes everything
Stay available from the next room: help with instructions, never do the work
Why it works
Every FamilyDecode planner follows the same principle: decide once, calmly, together — then let the printed page do the daily reminding. Because your child helped build it, the Homework Planner isn't one more parental instruction; it's their plan. And because it hangs where the action happens, it replaces repeated reminders with a simple glance. Families tell us the shift takes about two weeks: the first days you'll still prompt "check your plan", and then one evening, nobody needs to.
Make it stick
Start smaller than feels necessary, celebrate the check-marks more than the results, and bring this planner to your weekly family meeting for two minutes of adjustments. A plan that gets revised is a plan that survives; a plan carved in stone becomes wallpaper. If it stalls, shrink it — fewer steps, bigger wins — rather than abandoning it. This planner is the "Plan" step of the FamilyDecode Method; for the full picture, see our Daily Routines guide.
