My School Day Communication Book

Helping your child tell you about their day, one little step at a time.

“How was school today?” — “I don’t know.”

For many parents, especially those raising children with speech delays or additional communication needs, finding out what happened at school can be difficult. You want to know who your child played with, what they ate, what made them happy, what they learnt and how their day went.

But what happens when your child cannot yet find the words to tell you?

Introducing the My School Day Communication Book by Smart Motherhood — a practical, child-friendly communication tool designed to help children share information about their school day using visual prompts.

Created by Violet Ulaeto, founder of Smart Motherhood Limited, this book was inspired by real-life experiences and conversations with parents who understand how challenging it can be when a child cannot communicate their daily experiences.

How can it help your child?

The book uses visual communication cards to give children a practical way to express themselves, share experiences and communicate everyday information, even when spoken language is difficult.

With support from a parent, carer or teacher, your child can use the book to communicate about:

People: Who they saw or spent time with during the day.

Activities: What they played with or participated in.

Food: What they ate or drank.

Feelings: How they felt during different parts of the day.

Daily experiences: What they enjoyed, completed or experienced at school.

Who is it for?

The My School Day Communication Book is designed for children aged 2–5 years, including children who:

Have speech delays or emerging language skills.

Find it difficult to answer questions about their day.

Benefit from visual prompts to support communication.

Need additional support expressing their needs, choices and experiences.

Are developing their understanding of everyday words, people, activities and feelings.

Why choose this communication book?

At Smart Motherhood, we believe that communication is about more than spoken words. Every child deserves opportunities to express themselves, be understood and connect with the people around them.

This book offers parents, carers and educators a simple, practical way to encourage everyday communication and create more meaningful conversations between home and school.

Use it consistently, follow your child’s lead and celebrate every attempt to communicate — whether through pointing, choosing a picture, gestures, sounds or words.

Small steps. Meaningful connections. More opportunities to communicate.

Your child may not be able to tell you everything about their day just yet. With patience, repetition and consistent support, you can help create more opportunities for them to share their world with you.

My School Day Communication Book — because every child’s day deserves to be heard.

Please note: This book is a communication-support resource, not a diagnostic tool or a replacement for advice from a qualified speech and language therapist. It can be used alongside your child’s existing communication strategies and professional support.
