Daily Visual Schedule

A picture-based plan your child can actually follow — front and center.

Growing Balanced is built around one calming idea: a daily visual schedule kids can see, run, and feel proud of. Drag and drop the day, pick from age-aware starter routines, and tuck in supports right where they're needed.

  • Drag-and-drop builder with friendly Lucide icons + admin-curated extras
  • Simple, Timed, or Alerts schedule modes — sync from parent view to Kid View automatically
  • Locked Kid View so children check things off without accidentally editing the plan
  • “Where to start” nudges + age-banded starter routines for fast onboarding
Four Support Areas

Sensory · Emotional · Attention · Development & Play

Every child draws from all four support areas — the supports added to their routine, the activity picker, even the morning focus prompt adapt to what your family actually needs. Explore any area anytime; nothing is locked.

  • Sensory Support — heavy work, calming, alerting, deep pressure
  • Emotional Regulation — co-regulation rituals, transition warnings, feelings work
  • Attention & Focus — visual timers, focus resets, one-step cues
  • Development & Play — pretend play, connection rituals, fine-motor + gross-motor
The Toolbox — interactive tools

Help Me Right Now, Choice Boards, First → Then and more — for the moments a plan can't fix.

The Toolbox is a growing collection of one-tap parent utilities you can pull up in the moment — during a hard transition, before homework, or when you just need to hand your child a calmer choice. Everything here plugs straight into the schedule and Kid View.

  • Help Me Right Now — describe what's happening and get quick, OT-informed ideas in seconds
  • Choice Boards — offer 2–4 photo choices to give your child a bit of control
  • First → Then boards — make what's happening now and what comes next easy to see
  • Visual Timer — a calm, visible countdown for tricky transitions
  • What's Getting in the Way? — a guided look at what's making a hard moment harder
  • Routine Packs — drop in a ready-made morning, bedtime, or after-school routine in seconds
Guided Help — planners built for your child

Answer a few questions. Get a plan built for your child.

Guided Help walks you through short, parent-friendly questionnaires and hands back a personalized plan you can save, share, or drop straight into the schedule. Every planner is written by our pediatric OT — no jargon, no fluff.

  • Homework Helper — design a homework routine that actually works
  • Regulation Plan Builder — a personalized plan for helping your child regulate
  • Focus Environment Scanner — spot the friction hurting your child's focus
  • Sensory Detective + Feelings Detective — investigate what your child's body or heart needs
  • Calm Corner Builder — design a real-world calm-down space step-by-step
  • Co-Regulation Scripts — the exact words to say in the hardest moments
Today's Focus

One small, kind nudge — right at the top of your day.

Each morning we surface a single, parent-friendly focus prompt tuned to your child's most relevant support areas. Tap to keep it for the day, or refresh for a different one.

  • Path-aware daily prompt at the top of the dashboard
  • Refresh anytime for a different prompt — never feels repetitive
  • Authored by the team — short, encouraging, never overwhelming
Smart Activity Picker

Add support activities without leaving the schedule.

Tap any moment of the day, pick the kind of support you need, and choose from a curated picker of 10+ ideas per path. Hide what doesn't fit. Refresh for fresh ideas. Or jump into the full library when you want to browse.

  • Refresh Ideas + Hide-this-idea (per-child, remembered)
  • Favorites pin to the top so your go-to supports surface first
  • Take me to the {Path} Library link for deeper browsing
  • Edit any added support inline — swap activity or change the timer in one dialog
Gamified Rewards & Kid View

Stars, streaks, treasure boxes, animal buddies, daily spin.

Real motivation that lives next to the schedule. Kids earn stars for tasks AND supports, treasure boxes auto-unlock at thresholds you control, and the Kid View animation set keeps the energy gentle and celebratory.

  • Daily Spin Wheel with parent-customizable slots
  • Treasure Box auto-unlocks at a star threshold you set
  • Custom Real-Life Rewards (screen time, ice cream, sticker swap) — your call
  • Animal Buddy that grows with your child — 54+ friends to unlock
Whole Care Team

Share the routine with caregivers, daycare, school, or therapists.

Consistency travels with your child. Invite anyone helping at home, school, or in therapy and they see the same routine, the same supports, and the same gentle tone — exactly as you authored it.

  • Three access levels: Viewer, Logger, Editor
  • Email invitations with secure account creation
  • Activity logs visible to everyone you've shared with — so the team stays in sync
  • Switch between views without re-entering data; everything mirrors live
Education, Roadmaps & Libraries

Learn the why. Then put it into practice in two taps.

Short, parent-friendly education pages for each support area, full curated activity libraries, a Regulation Roadmap, and a Development Roadmap — all written for overwhelmed parents (not the textbook version).

  • Sensory + Attention & Focus Education — age expectations + practical practice ideas
  • Regulation Roadmap (Dependent → Co-Regulation → Self-Regulation) + Development Roadmap by age
  • Full path libraries (Sensory · Emotional · Focus · Play) for deep browsing
  • Printables: matching, prewriting, fine-motor, activity cards, parent guides
