Things have been changing around our house lately… it’s getting tidy! Yes, my kids are doing chores. But that isn’t new. What’s new is that they are excited about it! We’ve been using ChoreMonster for a month or so now, and since it’s working I thought I’d share it with you! To get started we created a list of chores and set some rewards, and the kids are earning points towards their goals with each chore. The real motivator is trying to win the virtual monsters, which are a huge hit with my two monsters! Unless of course our oldest wins a monster and our younger one doesn’t… but then that teaches an important lesson too, doesn’t it. 😉
I’ve tried sticker charts before, and they have never worked for us. We all got bored of them pretty quick. But I’m pretty happy to see that my kids are the ones reminding me about chores most days now. I don’t have to keep them accountable anymore, they are self-motivated! Finally! If you feel like trying it out with your family, you can use this link to get ONE MONTH FREE membership. Let me know what you think if you do!
I received an opportunity through Canopi to partner with ChoreMonster.

fun! I’m going to look into this. sounds like a great motivator 🙂 is it divided by age groups at all? or do you put in the chores you want them to do?

What a great idea! I wish I had something like this back in the day for my daughter – we were part of the sticker and treat club!!! 😉

Anything that helps with chores gets an A+ in my book! Chores have always caused a lot of stress with my kids.
