Family Forms

You are busy. You are a parent. You probably work outside the home or volunteer with your church or other organization. You are overwhelmed with parenting challenges.

This section contains some helpful forms to help you fine tweak your parenting toolbox.

Behavior sheet:

Use this sheet to document rageful, aggressive, impulsive or dangerous behaviors you do not want repeated or happy, helpful, thoughtful, or successful you want to encourage. By keeping a journal of behaviors you may discover a pattern you have overlooked. If you hate to journal, you can adapt the sheet and mark Y for yes and N for no.

Coaching Chart:

Useful for older children who are learning skills. The youth and parent can use this form as a joint effort. For example, if Junior won’t get out of bed every weekday morning and misses his bus, use this form to brainstorm with the youth the reasons and solutions for the goal of “Making it to the Bus”.

Goals form:

Just as a student has goals written in his IEP, a child can have positive goals written out at home. Goals for the student and progress marker section are included. Additionally, the Parent Progress section reminds us that our child’s success is also partly based on us. How did I support my child with this goal? What worked? What can I try next time?

Meeting Form:

This form could be used as a contact form and a goal form combined. It lists meeting goals, attendees and contact information.

Calendar sheet:

A useful calendar template without numbers. Use it for appointments, behavior charts or school projects.

Phone Log:

Use this phone log to track incoming and outgoing calls related to your child. This helps to create documentation and a paper trail when trying to access services for your child.
