What is actually inside
The Progress Path Family Edition is a complete guided journal that families can use on its own, at their own pace. Four core packs, supported by the Daily Check In Diary and the recognition resources. Each pack covers one area of family life, with prompts, logs, activities and ways to recognise progress.
Behaviour
Understand recurring difficulties, agree expectations together, and work towards more positive responses. It opens with a short stretch of simply noticing what really goes on, the patterns and the triggers, so you act on what is actually happening rather than what you assume.
Daily Tasks
Build morning, evening, school day and household routines that are manageable rather than ideal, shaped around the times your family really keeps.
Emotional Growth
Help a child name what they are feeling, reflect on what happened and build confidence. Feelings are never scored or rewarded.
Daily School Tasks
Homework, getting ready, responsibility, and proper conversations about the school day, before and after.
Daily Check In Diary
Thirty daily pages for the child and the grown up, including the grown up's own Something for Me space. It is not a separate parenting diary.
Rewards
The Gold Path, cut out sticker sheets, cut out love notes, reward notes and certificates. Cut out sticker sheets are included in the book. Separate physical stickers are not currently available.
No family has to fix everything at once. Start with the pack that fits right now. There is no right or wrong order, and you know your child.
How the recognition works
By eye, not by sums
In the book, each day is judged by eye. A child earns up to two small stars a day, and five small stars become one Gold Sticker.
The Gold Path
Gold Stickers move along the Gold Path. Every tenth one opens a Gold Pick and Dive. Six Level Ups, two Black Premium Stickers, or reaching the end of the Gold Path open the Premium Pick and Dive.
Silver Stars
Silver Stars mark the days that went beyond. Fifty of them earn a Silver Star Certificate.
Cut out sticker sheets are included in the book. Separate physical stickers are not currently available.
Stars describe the task, never your child.

More packs follow
It is called the Family Edition because it is the first, not the only one. Each edition builds on the Progress Path approach while giving families practical support for a particular area of growth.
The Money Pack
A separate companion book, not part of the Family Edition. The Family Edition already includes optional pocket money tracking and agreements. The Money Pack goes further. Written, and being edited now, with no publication date.
We will not invent a date. The first families to join hear first.
Founding Families
Help shape what comes next
Founding Families are the first families to use Progress Path. They are not a mailing list. They are the families whose real experience and feedback shape what Progress Path becomes.
Join and you will get the free 7 Day Recognition Challenge, one short email a day for seven days. Nothing to buy and nothing to print.
You will be first to hear when the book comes out.
