Growing up brings new questions, responsibilities and possibilities. GROW offers free illustrated resources to help children and families explore everyday life, build useful skills and discover routines that work for them.
Read and talk together with our Illustrated Life-Skills Posters, or make space for plans, tasks and reminders with My Everyday Toolkit.

Everyday situations can open up important conversations. Our colourful illustrated posters explore family routines, respect, responsibility, safety and growing independence through characters and familiar experiences.
Read them together, ask questions and listen to your child’s perspective. Return to them when a friendly reminder or a fresh conversation would help.
These are starting points for shared understanding. Adapt the conversation to your child’s age, needs and circumstances.
Where alternative illustrated editions are available, choose the characters your child connects with. Every family is welcome.
Pocket money, saving goals, needs versus wants, online purchases, subscriptions and understanding consequences of spending.
Knowing what needs doing is one thing; finding a manageable way to do it takes practice.
My Everyday Toolkit brings together six illustrated tools for planning the day, organising schoolwork and preparing for tomorrow. Each tool has a Primary edition and a Secondary edition—six tools, twelve worksheets.
Choose the layout that best suits your child’s current needs. Use it independently or together, keep plans achievable and make room for learning, play and rest.
Record lessons and session times using your own school’s schedule. Keep a separate sheet for each week if your timetable alternates.
Keep track of homework, due dates and completed tasks. Break work into manageable steps and see what needs attention next.
Use an illustrated checklist to prepare school essentials and everyday items. Make getting ready a shared routine that children can gradually take ownership of.
Reading about a skill is a beginning. Trying it together makes it part of everyday life.
Explore short, illustrated activities for shopping, preparing food, helping at home, asking for support and getting ready for something new.
Choose one mission, adapt it to your child’s needs and take it at your own pace. Each activity includes clear steps, guidance for a supportive adult and an easier way to begin.
No race. No perfect score. Just a chance to practise together.
Choose one resource that would help with something happening now. Talk it through, try it together and change your approach if it is not useful.
The aim is growing confidence - not a perfectly completed sheet.
