A kid can tell you their tummy hurts today. Asking whether it hurt more than last Tuesday is a different question, and most of us can't answer it about ourselves either. This tracker is a tool to help keep the record so nobody has to hold it in their head.
Each week has one page. Nine parts of the body get a number from 0 to 3, or a face for younger kids who would rather draw. There's a spot for water, and a color for how the whole day felt.
The journal page is for the parts a number can't hold. What felt good, what was hard, what they noticed. Writing or drawing, whichever suits the day.
The graph page turns one week of numbers into a line they can see, which is often the first time a kid understands that a rough patch has edges. There are notes throughout for grown-ups, and a page on how to make the habit stick without it becoming one more thing to get right.
Print a fresh page each week and keep them together. You can bring the numbers to appointments, where a month of daily notes tells a doctor more than anyone's memory of it.
Some weeks will have blanks in them, and that's just fine too. The tracker works when it gets filled in most days, not every day.
Free to download upon check-out. Print it at home.
