Why I Created the Balanced Board

As a parent of neurodivergent and neurotypical kids, I realized that routines aren’t just about getting tasks done — they’re about finding balance. Some days are heavy on screens, others too packed with chores or schoolwork. I wanted my kids to feel in control of their time and learn the value of a well-rounded day.

The Balanced Daily Board was born from that need — a visual tool that lets your child choose tasks from different areas of life (like movement, learning, service, and rest) and create a day that feels right for them.

“It’s helped us talk about how to balance work and play — and my kids feel like they have a say in their day.”

  • from overwhelmed

  • to balanced

Does this sound like your home? You’re not alone.

How It Works

1. Grab Your Balanced Daily Board

Choose the acrylic or whiteboard version. Magnetic boards are perfect for the fridge or dishwasher.

2. Introduce the Four Categories

The board is divided into: Day (daily tasks), Body (movement, hygiene, rest), Mind (learning, creativity), Home (chores, tidiness, family contributions)

3. Pick a Task from Each Category

Your child selects one or more clings from each section and arranges their day visually.

4. move to “done”

As they finish tasks, kids move clings to the DONE column — building satisfaction and momentum.

What is the Balanced Daily Board?

The Balanced Daily Board is a visual tool designed to help kids manage their day with more flexibility. Instead of fixed tasks at fixed times, it encourages them to balance activities across key categories—like body, mind, home, and connection—on their own schedule.

How is it different from the Routine Daily Board?

The Routine Daily Board sets specific tasks by time of day (morning, daytime, evening), while the Balanced Daily Board lets kids choose when to do their tasks, as long as they complete a well-rounded day. It’s more about teaching balance and ownership than sticking to a strict schedule.

What kinds of activities go on the Balanced Board?

The board works best with a mix of categories like:

  • Body: physical play, movement, or hygiene
  • Mind: reading, puzzles, or learning
  • Home: chores or helping around the house
  • Connection: acts of kindness or family time

You can customize these with cling sets that match your family’s needs.

Is this board good for neurodivergent kids?

Yes! Many families use the Balanced Board to support kids with ADHD, autism, or sensory needs. The flexible format reduces overwhelm and encourages self-regulation without rigid time constraints.

Can I use the Balanced Board for more than one child?

Yes. Each child can have their own board, or you can set it up as a shared family board where everyone contributes to balancing the day together.

Is it reusable?

Absolutely. The board and clings are reusable and easy to rearrange daily. Just wipe and reset each morning or at the end of the day.

Do I need to buy clings separately?

We recommend starting with the Daily Essentials | Starter clings and then adding specific sets like:

  • Health & Hygiene
  • Mind Growth
  • Creative Play
  • Acts of Kindness

You can build your collection as your child’s needs grow.
