Tips

💡

Start with easy, quick tasks (5-10 minutes) to build momentum. Kids feel accomplished and want to do more!

  • Be specific: "Clean your room" is better than "Chores"
  • Fair points: Harder tasks should be worth more points
  • Start small: Begin with 3-5 tasks, add more as your family gets used to the system
