The success of HFK relies on YOUR Leadership - You get out of it, what you put into it....

As parents we need to nurture strong family bonds and teach our Kids to be responsible, independent and accountable individuals.

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! Choose 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!
