Build Routines with a Habit Tracker

This article is in collaboration with American Coaching Academy and their habit tracker.

Teaching children to develop healthy habits is no easy task. American Coaching Academy offers resources such as lesson plans, workouts, games, and other activities to engage children in fun and creative ways to get them moving!

One of their products is the Healthy Habit Tracker. This monthly habit tracker assists parents with implementing these essential skills in the home. In 5 minutes a day, children have fun while building healthy habits! These monthly trackers consist of several daily challenges a child can complete and mark off. Over time, the visual display of a completed task will encourage children to form a habit.

Each full-color habit tracker is a 1-page digital product, ready to download and print immediately. The recommended age group is 6–18 years old. However, the whole family can benefit from these habit tracker challenges!
