Supporting Positive Habits With Daily Check-ins

Transform daily struggles into opportunities for connection with the Check-In, Check-Out system. This practical 8-page guide helps parents and teens work together to build positive habits through scheduled reminders, encouragement, and feedback.

This assent-based system moves away from top-down demands and instead focuses on collaboration, positive reinforcement, and mutual agreement.

What’s Inside:

• Step-by-Step Parent Guide: Learn how to set up brief daily check-ins (just 2-3 minutes) focused entirely on encouragement, not criticism.
• The Values Compass: A dedicated tool to help teens discover their internal motivation. By connecting daily habits to their own personal values, young people learn to act in alignment with the person they want to be, moving beyond simple external rewards.
• Collaborative Planning Worksheets: Work together to choose 1-3 clear expectations that are short, positive, and specific. When teens help set the rules, they're more likely to follow them.
• Daily & Weekly Reward Trackers: Easy-to-use charts to visually track progress, allowing parents and teens to tick off boxes together. The system is designed to help you focus more on effort and progress than perfection!
• Print-Friendly Design: This resource features a clean, mostly black-and-white layout, making it highly economical and easy to print at home.

Perfect for: Parents, carers, and professionals looking for a structured, trauma-informed, and highly encouraging way to support teens in meeting daily expectations while building long-term independence.
