What progress can look like

Look for repeatable moments

Progress may be asking for the same story, settling a little sooner, or returning to a routine after a difficult day.

Use language about your own family’s experience instead of comparing children, households, streaks, or totals.

A pause is not failure. Gentle progress leaves room for illness, travel, changing needs, and busy family life.

A gentle reminder
