Big tasks feel impossible to start. This worksheet helps your child break any task — a homework project, a messy room — into six tiny steps, guess how long each takes, and tick them off one at a time.
Created by special needs parents — one with a background in scientific research — and grounded in peer-reviewed research.
"My BIG task" with due date and a 1–5 how-hard-does-it-feel scale
6 numbered steps, each with a time guess and a tick box
"My very first tiny step" and "My reward when I finish" boxes

Teachers and school counselors
OTs, speech therapists and BCBA/behavior teams
Children with ADHD, autism, anxiety or big feelings — and any child who needs a little more structure
