What is a Family Calendar?
Designed for active families, a family calendar helps busy
parents keep track of schedules and plan activities for the
entire family. Features of a Family Calendar
Beginning in either August or September, family calendars provide
17 or 16 full
months of scheduling and planning capability
Allow parents to keep track of schedules of up to 5 different
family members (6 if Mom and Dad share a space)
Provide colorful easy recognizable stickers to help keep track
of special events like birthday's and vacations
Include places to keep track of important phone numbers for the
kids, babysitters, and parents.
Different Styles of Family Calendars
Family calendars come in two different formats, a horizontal
format with the dates running across the top and family names
down the side and a vertical format with family names running
across the top and the dates running down the side. With
the vertical format, you only need to write the family members'
names once each month and you can more easily get a good read of
each person's schedule. But you do sacrifice the "traditional"
monthly calendar view; making it more difficult to quickly spot
when certain days or weekends occur in the month.
With
the horizontal format, you maintain the "traditional" monthly
calendar view, but getting a quick read on each family members'
schedule can be more difficult. You also need to re-enter
each family member's name 5 times each month.
Who Can Use a Family Calendar?
Busy Parents - Designed specifically for parents on the
go, family calendars are a easy and quick way to stay on top
of busy family schedules.
Active Families - For families with lots of places to
go and people to see, family calendars let you do so without
chaos and stress.
Organizationally "Challenged" - For families who can't
quite keep organized, family calendars are a great tool to
help you go from disorganized to organized quickly.
