✓ Be consistent: Check the board at the same time each day to build a routine
✓ Celebrate progress: When they earn a reward, make it special and acknowledge their hard work
✓ Adjust as needed: If tasks are too easy or hard, modify them to keep motivation high
The statistics panel shows you at a glance:

Set up task reminders to help your child stay on track:
Create rewards that multiple children work toward together:
Compare performance across multiple children:
Note: Use comparisons carefully! Focus on individual improvement rather than competition between siblings.
Begin with 3-5 simple tasks. Once your child builds confidence, gradually add more responsibilities.
“Brush teeth for 2 minutes” is better than just “Brush teeth.” Clear expectations = better results.
Set reward thresholds your child can reach within 1-2 weeks. Too distant = loss of motivation.
Use the comment feature to encourage effort, not just results. “Great focus today!” goes a long way.
