For parents
Leave a blank day in your weekly plan
Make a reusable activity rhythm that survives errands, tired days and changing interests.
Plan the support, not only the subject
An activity that needs an adult-held torch belongs at a time when an adult is free. Start with available support and materials, then choose the subject. Put a short sound hunt on a busy day and a paper bridge on a calmer one. The planner here holds one activity per weekday. It is a reusable rhythm, not a dated school attendance record or a full timetable.
Leave a deliberate gap
A blank Thursday can hold a repeated favourite, an unfinished drawing or a rest. Empty does not mean failed. Filling every day makes ordinary disruptions feel like a debt. If Monday’s activity is missed, decide whether it still matters before moving it forward. Do not automatically stack missed activities onto tomorrow. One thoughtful conversation is often a better next step than rushing three tasks.
Review the experience, not a percentage
On Friday ask: What did we enjoy? What was too hard? What should we repeat with one change? Point to a specific explanation or drawing. The completion list records activity IDs only and does not count repeated sessions or evaluate understanding. A tick can be removed. It is not a report card, a streak or a comparison with another child.
Know where the plan lives
The saved plan stays in this browser’s localStorage. It does not sync to another device, and clearing site data may remove it. Everyone using the same browser profile shares it, so treat it as a household plan rather than a private child record. Print it if you need a paper reminder. Reset removes only OpenSchooler’s own keys. If storage is blocked, the planner warns you and works for the current page without promising persistence.
