I think teaching the kids to help out around the house is a bit like teaching them good manners. If they don’t do it at home, it will not magically happen when they go to someone else’s home.

I am not talking scrubbing the flours like something out of Cinderella. All I want is a bit of cleaning up after yourself.

Here are a few things that I think my kids should help with and or do without 10 reminders (or screaming at 11):

I think the above are mostly about forming good habits and consistency. I have made some progress with reminders and some rewards.

And yes there is an app for that - i Reward Chart

I Reward Chat Demo here by App Calendar.

Why I like it:

• The ability to add your Child’s Photo. Kids love seeing themselves!
• I can fully customize behaviors and activities to track.
• It offers a great reward bank with custom awards (ice cream or computer time, you choose).
• Its super easy to use for kids and grown-ups.
• I can just hand over the phone versus having to log-on to a website.
• You can update your Twitter or Facebook account with your child’s progress to show off your parenting skills.
• You can even use it for yourself because we all need some reminders and rewards.

I am so loving this app. I am happy there is an App for that!

What do you do to get your kids to do stuff? Chores? Behavior?
