The handover checklist
A calm handover bag list: standing items, this-time items, and the medication check.
PDF, free to print and share. No email needed.
Handovers go wrong over small things: the forgotten reader, the inhaler left on the side, the kit that needed to travel. The checklist breaks the bag into three parts, the items that always travel, the things that matter just this time, and a clear medication check, so nothing important is left behind in the rush of the door.
Print one and keep it by each front door. Run down it together before a handover, or hand it to a child old enough to pack their own bag. It turns a stressful moment into a short, shared routine, and it takes the heat out of the conversation that starts with "you forgot to send."
A calm handover is mostly a prepared one. The page does the remembering so the goodbye can stay light.
