We Believe
OUR PHILOSOPHY
By giving our Kids the opportunity to be contributing members of a team through daily JOBS and EXPECTATIONS, research suggests we're preparing them to be successful individuals in the real world. Our game-like system at Hire and Fire your Kids is a fun and effective way to achieve this.
BE MORE THAN JUST THEIR BUDDY
As parents we need to nurture strong family bonds and teach our Kids to be responsible, independent and accountable individuals.
THE GAME
Becomes your Kids' primary income stream. Kids decide "to play or not to play".
Replaces your Kids allowance, no more money given at whim, helps YOU keep your sanity!
Helps Your Kids:
- Take initiative
- Feel accomplished
- Learn to be kind and respectful
- Be a team player
- Learn the value of a dollar
THE GAME
SET FAMILY EXPECTATIONS - Code of Conduct
Think of your Family like a business - what are the company ("family") values and what is expected of every employee (“family member”).
Create your Expectations using our template. These are things around hygiene, manners or everyday must dos like: be kind, hands to yourself, no yelling, keeping clothes off the floor, turning lights off, making the bed etc.
Kids Kash and Incentive bonuses are given as rewards for following the Expectations.
These Expectations will be followed by every family member, at all times, yep, you too parents!
YOU’RE HIRED!
Then, HIRE your employees for extra jobs around the house! Create jobs (chores) for your Kids to be hired for. They'll choose as many as they want and earn extra kash or fun experiences of your choosing.
They'll compete to be your family's top performing Employee Of The Month (EOTM) and can be submitted to our monthly EOTM contest for prizes & recognition!
YOU’RE FIRED!
As long as your Kids follow the Expectations they will be eligible for Kids Kash and Incentive Programs. BUT! If your Kids deviate from any of these expectations, they get 3 X's (warnings), then are FIRED on the 4th. Incentive Program bonuses are taken away and consequence(s) are enforced such as No TV! or no Device!
Incentive Programs:
- EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
- NOT FIRED BONUS
- TEAMWORK BONUS
PHOTO EVIDENCE
Snap those X's!
While the Kids are getting used to the game it's fun to snap photos of their dishes not put away, or their laundry on the floor. You can text it to them as a reminder without "nagging" a single word!
