Why checklists work
Visuals reduce cognitive load and reminders. Kids love checking boxes and 'owning' the pack.
Build yours
Draw or print icons: bottle, lunch, homework, library book, sport gear. Place by the door with a dry‑erase marker.
Make it routine
90 seconds after breakfast. One high‑five on completion. Log mornings in Mom&Dad Tracker and spot patterns.
