How Can I Track My Own Progress After Completing Training? 

Completing a parent training programme is an important achievement, but keeping up the progress afterwards is equally important. ADHD parent training progress tracking helps parents see how far they have come and ensures the skills they have learned continue to support their child’s needs. By using self-monitoring tools and reflecting on changes in daily life, parents can measure their own growth and celebrate improvements in both their parenting and their child’s behaviour.

 

Ways to Track Parent Training Progress 

Progress in parent training can be tracked through behaviour logs, feedback from teachers, and regular review of set goals. 

Journaling and Reflection  

Keeping a parenting journal allows you to record daily or weekly experiences. Note specific strategies you used, how your child responded, and how you felt in the moment. Over time, this reveals patterns of growth and areas needing adjustment. 

Behaviour Checklists  

Many training programmes provide behaviour-tracking tools. Using these regularly helps you measure improvements in your child’s actions while also showing how your consistency and follow-through as a parent are improving. 

Goal Setting and Review  

Set specific goals (e.g., fewer meltdowns, smoother homework routines, more consistent praise) and revisit them every few weeks. Tracking progress against these goals gives you a clear sense of achievement. 

Feedback from Others  

Teachers, therapists, or family members can provide external perspectives on changes in both your child’s behaviour and your parenting approach. 

Conclusion 

By using self-monitoring techniques like journals, checklists, and goal reviews, you can make ADHD parent training progress tracking part of your long-term parenting journey and measure real, lasting parent outcomes.
