ADHD workbook for kids: 30 friendly pages for routines and big feelings

This ADHD workbook for kids offers simple, friendly tools for focus, routines and strong emotions, made for curious, creative children between 7 and 12. Its 30 undated pages begin with My brain is unique and My superpowers, then move through morning, after-school and bedtime charts, breathing for calm, cut-out cards for moving around, homework support, a reward chart with 30 stars to color and two pages written for grown-ups. Both US Letter and A4 PDF files are yours to download instantly, and nothing gets mailed.

Your child gets bright, easy steps. You get calmer routines and a gentle way to talk about feelings together.

How the ADHD workbook for kids helps at home

First comes what your child is good at. There is a page all about them, a page that explains the brain in warm, simple language and 18 superpowers waiting for color. The routine charts split mornings, the hours after school and bedtime into tiny steps, and your child fills a circle for each day. A quick backpack check the night before means a calmer start to the day.

When emotions run high, there are eight faces for checking in, a thermometer with five levels, a menu of ways to calm down, four breathing shapes to trace with a finger and a plan for big feelings in five steps. Because no dates are printed, you can print the charts again every week and keep using the pages together for as long as they are useful.

Who it is for

• Children from 7 to 12 with ADHD or ADD, or any child whose busy brain gets distracted easily

Kid-friendly design, gentle on ink

• No dates, so it works in any year and the charts can be reprinted weekly
• Child-friendly prompts with simple drawings such as feeling faces, stars and breathing shapes
• Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind it
