Wondering how supported you feel by your family, or what a low or high score can really tell you? The Family APGAR offers a brief snapshot of your perceived satisfaction across Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve. This workbook gives you space to answer the five items about your family as a whole, add your 0-to-10 total, and consider what one person's answers can and cannot show. Its score is a conversation starter, not a verdict about your family.
The 34-page pack comes as PDFs in A4 and US Letter. Questionnaire and Scoring includes the five items, response options, score bands, and a fictional example. Twelve Worksheets offer a dimension profile, pages for each APGAR dimension, a conversation starter, a one-small-step plan, and a hard-day page. Four Trackers cover score history, dimension notes, a step log, and monthly review. Quick Reference has a cheat sheet and cut-out cards. The five-page Guide explains interpretation and limits; the three-page Clinician Guide covers client use. Start-Here lays out first steps and a six-week path, and Credits and References names sources and use terms.
Begin with the 15-minute start, then work through a page or check-in at a manageable pace. The suggested path revisits the questionnaire in weeks four and six; the Guide recommends spacing check-ins two to four weeks apart, not daily. Copy repeatable worksheets and trackers as needed. You will have dated scores, notes on which dimension feels thinnest, a small-step record, and pages to bring to a conversation with a professional or trusted support person.
What you get
- Score the five Family APGAR items from 0 to 10 and compare your total with the bands on Questionnaire and Scoring.
- Shade the dimension profile and use five dedicated worksheets to reflect on Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve.
- Plan one manageable action with the one-small-step worksheet, then record it in the small-step log.
- Track dated totals across eight check-ins with Score History and review dimension notes in the repeatable trackers.
- Keep the Quick Reference cheat sheet and cut-out cards nearby when reflecting or preparing for a conversation.
What it is not
For educational self-reflection, not diagnosis or treatment; the Family APGAR was developed by Gabriel Smilkstein, and the instrument remains the work of its author. Personal use is included; professionals who purchase the workbook may print and reuse pages with their own clients, while wider group or institution use requires a separate listing.
Questions people ask
How is the Family APGAR scored?
Rate each of the five items 0 (Hardly ever), 1 (Some of the time), or 2 (Almost always), answering about your family as a whole. Add the points for a total from 0 to 10. The workbook shows commonly reproduced lower, middle, and higher groupings as descriptions of reported satisfaction, not objective severity categories.
Can I print the Family APGAR workbook on A4 or US Letter paper?
Yes. The workbook files are provided as PDFs in both A4 and US Letter. The pack contains 34 pages across nine files, including the questionnaire, worksheets, trackers, guides, quick reference, and credits.
How often should I repeat the Family APGAR?
The Quick Reference recommends re-testing every two to four weeks, not daily. The six-week path includes check-ins in weeks one, four, and six, with score history and monthly review pages to help you notice a pattern over time. Treat each result as a snapshot of your own view.
