Want to learn more about FamilyTeam, search for FamilyTeam in your app store.
And now your kids are finally able to help out around the house. But do you give them chores to complete? If you do, you know it’s not always an easy task. And if you don’t, it’s worth considering as chores have been linked to an increase in their responsibility, competence, self-reliance, and self-worth later in life. So how do you go about simplifying the task? Well a cool app we came across called FamilyTeam helps turn chores into a family activity that rewards children for completed tasks and turns the entire household into a team. So the app is available for your iPad for $1.99. And to get started, all you need to do is download it from the app store and setup the schedule for each task and each child, which takes about 10 minutes in total. You give each completed task a reward, not necessarily a monetary one, and then explain the process to your children. At the end of the day or week, you can sit down with them and see how many tasks are completed and how close to the reward they are. Each child has their own personal profile which shows them how many points they’ve received. The app is simple and easy to use, and it helps reinforce the concept of chores…which as I mentioned, have their own worth. So to download it today, head to the appstore and search “FamilyTeam”.
