Teenage Development Wheel

Teenagers – a guide for parents/carers and for the children that they are bringing up.

This moveable wheel, which is for parents/carers of teenagers (12 to 19 years), follows on from the production of our birth to five and older children's parenting wheels. It completes the 'family' of 'age-related' wheels for parents and carers of children through to their adult years.  

Written by practitioners at Harrow Council, these wheels are split into eight sections and each wheel carries information on both sides for each age year. You simply twist the wheel round to get to the section you currently need. On one side of the wheel there are things that the child or teenager might/should be able to do and also a list of things that the family can do to help the child/teenager, for each age group.

The teenage wheel focuses on positive contributions and the achievement of economic well-being and the reverse side of this wheel gives parents/carers information about how they might help teenagers work towards these achievements as they move towards adulthood. 

Like the birth to five wheel, this simple to use tool measures approx 230mm in diameter (so they are easy to carry around) and all of the information contained within it was written by childcare practitioners to ensure that it will meet the needs of both parents and carers. Read More

Questions and Answers

1. What are Development Wheels™?

Development Wheels™ are unique, circular resources designed to provide information, ideas and guidance on various child development, health and family support topics. Each wheel is written by specialists and practitioners, making them accessible and relevant to parents, carers, health visitors, childminders, teachers and others working with children.

2. How do they work?

Each Development Wheel™ consists of three sections, with a middle ‘inner’ section that you rotate to reveal information through a window at the top. One side highlights what a child might be able to do at a certain age and how parents or professionals can support them. The other side covers ways to keep the child healthy and safe.

3. Who can benefit from Development Wheels™?

They are ideal for a wide range of users, including parents, carers, health visitors, childminders, teachers, early years practitioners, students, and others working in childcare, health and family support. Because the content is created by experts, they are both practical for everyday family use and beneficial as a professional reference tool.

4. What sizes are available?

Standard Development Wheels™ (approximately 230mm): Easy to carry around and wipe-clean for regular use.

Super-size Practitioner Development Wheels™ (440mm): Larger wheels containing more detailed information, ideal for settings such as children’s centres, nurseries and group environments.

5. What topics do the wheels cover?

Currently, there are 26 Development Wheel™ titles (and more in the pipeline) covering early years development, speech and language, outdoor play, health topics like pre-birth and postnatal support, maths and reading, teenage years and more. There are also specialist titles such as the Schemas Development Wheels, created to help understand and support children’s schemas.

6. Can they be customised with my organisation’s branding?

Yes. You can have your own logo and branding on the back of any Development Wheel™, and even adjust the colours to match your organisation’s style. This allows you to share important information with families and the community while promoting your brand.

7. Is there a minimum order for customised Development Wheels™?
