Kids, Chores and Rewards Get Together

Even if they don’t bend your ear about it, your customers probably wish there were simple ways to teach kids the value of money. Raise the subject of time spent with TV or video games and watch the attention shift to you. Then, show them a system that uses today’s technology to get across the concept of managing time and money.

My Job Chart is an online system in which a parent either registers online or downloads an app, inputs information about the family and assigns chores to kids with a reward value for each job. In some cases, the reward can be a donation to charity, teaching the value of sharing. Kids do what they have to and check to show the task is completed. This triggers a text or email to the adult reminding them that the assigned reward is due. In a world where many parents work late and kids may be alone after school, the system allows parents to stay connected with what is happening (or is not) at home.

With My Job Chart, parents and kids build bonds over chores, rewards and giving — hopefully lessons that will stay alive into the future. It makes lives easier for adult members of the household and encourages youngsters to take charge of their projects.

The company behind the product promotes financial literacy in schools and improving philanthropy from kids. The CEO has been named the Chairman of Money Smart Week in Arizona, a program run April 5-12 throughout the U..S through the Federal Reserve, in conjunction with National Financial Literacy Month.

My Job Chart takes the struggle out of teaching children the value of a strong work effort and is far more motivating than typical nagging about jobs that remain undone. Kids get a kick out of seeing rewards pile up and after a while, the process is almost on autopilot. Reduce parental stress, teach financial responsibility and get chores completed minus whining. Everybody benefits!
