Last week a friend was telling me a story about her son. She was driving in the car and he was muttering in the back seat, "sss – hhh- eee – pause." She looked back and asked him to repeat it again and sure enough he said "sss – hhh – eee – pause." He is five years old and learning how to spell and sound out words. She asked him what he was trying to spell out and he pointed to a Shell gas station. He was mistaking the double "L" with the pause symbol.
My point: times are changing and our kids are into digital technology more than ever. And if you happen to be a tech junkie like me, your kids will be stealing your iPhone and taking over your laptop before they are 5 years old. So it makes sense to toss out those old paper, static, boring chore charts and go digital. MyJobChart.com does just that. MyJobChart.com is a digital, fully interactive chore chart your child can use online.
Your kids can wake up in the morning, sign on to myjobchart.com and check what chores they need to complete for the day. Parents get a progress report by email or text message when each task is finished and they can send words of encouragement to their child’s profile, like virtual "gold stars."
Each job you assign to your child has points associated with it, and as he/she completes a job they get points that they can collect or redeem for a reward. You can even customize your own rewards and jobs. You can organize jobs by how often they need to be completed, daily, weekly, morning, night or both.
I especially like that you can upload your child’s picture to make myjobchart.com more personal. The site is very easy to use for kids and parents, and the kids will love the large icons assigned to each job or reward. You can also upload your own.
MyJobChart.com works for kids as young as 3 years old and is a great tech tool for parents to help their children be responsible and develop a good work ethic. Kids will love it because of the positive feedback and rewards program. You will love it because it’s one less thing you have to hang on the wall.
