Chill Capy’s Week 4: Habits & Routines — six pages of calm, guided activities for kids ages 6–10.

Goals grow the same way gardens do.
Once seeds are planted, they don’t grow overnight. They need care, attention, and small, repeated actions.

In Week 4 of the Chill Capy Goals Journal, children learn that habits and routines are like watering their plants. Even a little bit of care — done often — makes a difference over time.

This week is not about doing more.
It’s about doing something small, consistently.

The Week 4 journal includes six pages to guide children gently through habit building and reflection:

Mapping Out a Calm Week

One of the first activities this week is a simple weekly planner.

Instead of focusing on exact schedules or productivity, children are invited to think about their days in broad, manageable parts:

• Morning
• Afternoon
• Evening

This helps children begin noticing when they might show up for their goals, without feeling boxed in or rushed.

Parents can help younger children talk through their routines, while older kids may enjoy filling this out independently.

The Week 4 planner helps your child map out their morning, afternoon, and evening routines. This is where they start showing up for their goals — one small action at a time.

Choosing Habits That Help Goals Grow

Next, children choose one small habit that supports their goal.

This is where the garden metaphor becomes active.

On the “Habits to Work On” page, Chill Capy gently waters the sprouts — a visual reminder that habits don’t need to be big to matter. Reading for a few minutes, practicing calmly, or showing up with intention can all help goals grow.

Here, your child chooses one small habit to help their goal grow. Chill Capy gently waters the sprouts — a calm reminder that small, repeated actions matter.

Noticing Habits That Slow Growth

Growth also means learning what gets in the way.

Another page helps children gently notice habits that may slow their progress — without blame or shame. In the garden, weeds may appear. In real life, distractions or avoidance can take up space too.

The goal here isn’t to judge — it’s simply to notice.

At the end of the week, children reflect on how it felt to try their habit.

The reflection page focuses on:

• Feelings
• Effort
• What helped

Not outcomes.

Some weeks, sprouts don’t look very different above the soil — but roots are growing underneath. This reflection helps children learn that effort still matters, even when results aren’t obvious yet.

As children grow more confident, they may begin using parts of the journal on their own. The calm structure of Week 4 supports independence while still allowing space for adult guidance when needed.
