It’s not a secret that parents get frustrated with their kids behavior and stressed out over their lack of help around the house. Moms and Dads are tired of constantly having to nag their kids to get off their device, brush their teeth, hang up those wet towels, make their bed, practice piano, listen, and on and on!
The world is becoming more digital each passing hour it seems. Studies have shared that 42% of kids have a phone by age ten, 71% by age twelve and 91% by age fourteen, and these numbers continue to rise each year as both kids and parents love, and some would say ‘need’ their phones every day.
Hire & Fire Your Kids is an app that reduces family friction by gamifying behaviors and chores. We restore family harmony and enhance parenting styles by using behavioral science and workplace strategies to make HFK a game kids want to play!
Parents post jobs for ‘Hire’ and the kids are given the power of choice as they go in and apply for the jobs that THEY want to do, and complete for reward. Families collaborate and set household expectations, each player is expected to follow the ‘house rules,’ or risk getting warnings and potentially ‘Fired’, activating a consequence.
Parents manage the game using the HFK strategy of recognition, reward and consequence to change behavior through play, create healthy habits, teach life skills and improve family culture.
Testimonials from families confirm that parents in this digital age are using the Hire & Fire Your Kids strategy as a tool to reinforce positive behavior in their children. A great addition to any parents toolbox!
