Tides & Triumphs 12 week Journal for SEND parents & carers

Description

Description

Some days, there is so much to hold—and remembering it all when someone asks how things are going can feel impossible.

Created by a SEND parent, Tides & Triumphs is a 12 week journal for parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities. It gives you somewhere to record the tricky moments and the lovely bits, notice patterns and keep examples to share with professionals.

Simple daily check-ins capture how things felt for your child and how your own energy is holding up. Transfer two ratings onto a shared graph to see your days together over time. There’s also space to record sleep, explore what might have contributed to a difficult moment, remember what helped and put down your own thoughts.

Inside you’ll find:

• Morning and evening check-ins, with quick tick boxes.
• Graphs to track your child’s day alongside your energy.
• Space for brain dumps, small triumphs and your own needs.
• Reflection prompts, conversation notes and a summary to share with professionals.
• Fictional completed examples to help you get started.

You don’t need a diagnosis, and you don’t need to complete every section. The pages are undated, so there’s no catching up if you miss a day.

This journal won’t magically transform family life. The hope is simpler: to help you spot patterns, notice what supports your child and feel more prepared when asking for help.
