Understanding Parent vs Child Roles

ChoreSplit has two roles: Parent and Child. Each role has different permissions and features.

Parent Role

Parents are administrators of the family. They can:

• Create and manage tasks — Add, edit, delete tasks
• Manage family members — Add, edit, remove members
• Create rewards — Set up rewards for points redemption
• View all statistics — See everyone's progress
• Verify completions — Approve photo verifications
• Manage settings — Configure family preferences
• Handle billing — Manage subscription (account owner)

Child Role

Children are task completers. They can:

• View assigned tasks — See tasks assigned to them
• Complete tasks — Mark tasks done, earn points
• Redeem rewards — Use points for rewards
• View leaderboard — See family rankings
• Build streaks — Track their own progress
