The Prepared Home Toolkit: Audits & Scripts

The Knee-Level Audit. The Grandparent Scripts. The Rotation Plan.

Don't just declutter. Curate.

​This free toolkit contains the implementation checklists and scripts from the book The Prepared Home. It is designed to help you scan your environment and remove the invisible barriers to your child's independence.

​What's Inside:

​✅ The "Knee-Level Audit" Checklist:

A room-by-room guide to crawling through your house and spotting friction. (e.g., "Is the towel hook reachable?" "Can they see the bottom of the toy bin?").

​✅ The Toy Rotation Schedule:

A tracking sheet to manage your inventory. Keep 80% of toys in storage and rotate them weekly to keep engagement high and messes low.

​✅ Scripts for "The Gift Problem":

Exact phrases to use with well-meaning grandparents who buy loud, plastic toys. How to set boundaries on gifts without offending family (e.g., "Let's keep this as a special 'Grandma's House' toy").

​✅ The "Access vs. Safety" Grid:

A decision matrix to help you decide what should be accessible (water, snacks, art) and what should be secured, based on your child's age.

​Why is this free?

Because a child who can do things for themselves is a child who feels capable. We want to help you build a home where "I can do it!" is a reality, not just a phrase.
