Notice when your kids are doing something you like and reinforce with positive, specific feedback. Recognition builds up their confidence and self-esteem.
Don’t worry we’ll even remind you!
You're Recognized!
Kids are empowered to take ownership by applying to posted jobs (no assigning tasks here), and rewards provide an incentive we can all relate to.
Redeem gift cards, replace allowance, or use points to represent rewards for payday.
You're Hired!
Consequences are an important outcome of not following your family values, house rules or expectations. Use visuals, through photos, to demonstrate unmet expectations & send a warning X. The kids are motivated to minimize these X’s so that they don’t face the consequences you set together or lose out on their payday bonuses.
You're Fired!
Consequence
Parents, you can tag-a-kid to get their attention and have them contribute more around the home.
Parents, you can use nudge-a-kid as a friendly reminder BEFORE you get fed up and have to issue a Warning X.
Kids Kash is the HFK currency. Players can redeem payday "paid" earnings
using the cashout or gift card feature and keep track of it all with
pay stubs & payment history.
(paid to date, spent to date & saved to date)
Kids can use the remind me feature and set personal reminders for themselves to remember to complete jobs or expectations on their own. This saves them from having to hear mom or dad remind or nag them to do it. :)
Leading by example is a strong way to parent, if you choose to let your kids fire you, come up with what YOUR consequence will be if you do get fired... Treat kids to ice cream, family picnic, extra media time, etc. Be sure to discuss at your family team meetings. :) You can update the default setting to 'fire a parent' under game rules, this new rule will update on payday.
Now the entire family can use Recognition messages to send to every player in the game. Who doesn't love recognition, show each other some love people!
The leaderboard was built to have some friendly competition amongst players. We understand this may not work for all families so feel free to turn the leaderboard default from show to hide under the game rules.
PAYDAY - time to reward your kids for all their hard work! Earned rewards are automatically moved to "paid" rewards in the app to promote delayed gratification.
Be sure you
stick to your team family meetings...
You can share what's working, what's not, discuss potential consequences for the upcoming pay period and more!
We practice loss aversion in the app. If the Kids can go the entire pay period without getting fired, they get to KEEP their NOT FIRED bonus.
If all siblings can go the entire pay period without getting fired, they all get to KEEP their TEAMWORK bonus.
Bonuses are then paid out on payday.
Kids apply to the rolling job board created by a parent and earn reward upon completion.
Parent's just set it & forget it!
Kids can set job reminders for themselves using the remind me button. We also remind the kids too so they can complete their taken jobs on time and earn reward!
Jobs are 100% customizable!

Families can communicate with messages to individual players or all! A great feature for kids without data or who use the web app.
Messages are kept in each players Inbox, to view or delete and they will receive a notification too.
Kids follow the family values and expectations set, trying not to get fired...
Expectations could be things like "must do" chores, behaviors, manners, hygiene, family values, money management and more.
Kids can set personal reminders for themselves using the remind me button for any expectation.
i.e., Put deodorant on daily at 8am.
