this is a pretty smart idea!

I had so much anxiety as a kid. This would have really stressed me out. I think it works for some family but kids should be able to be free to be kids.

While I do appreciate the idea of having a reward game for kids who are certain to struggle with this isolation, I have some concern about what types of reward is illustrated here...As someone who struggled with eating disorders as a teen, I look at this "junk food as a reward" system as a potential problem for future eating habits... Yes, I'm probably going to be downvoted but I'd really like to see the rewards be less food centric. I'm Not saying treats should be gone, but maybe add some other types of incentives?

I did this for my kiddo this week. I adjusted the prices for her. She gets a lot more for reading time since she hates it. It has been a great motivator. We also added a couple small toys, nail polish, and the grand prize is a box of hair dye(semi permanent) in purple.

You have an inflation problem.

I would just read for 7 hours straight

My dad takes away my reading time.......

Great idea!

I'm gonna use this when my daughter comes home from college!!!! LOL

That is actually amazing!

way to go!!

Great idea!

Brilliant!! ❤️

Just doing my part! Opa

No. It is wrong. Something wrong about the too many sweet snacks. Wrong anyway. Don't buy kids.. And try fruits, or making cakes, simple not too sweet. My opinion. And tasks are everyday tasks. Learn them this.

this is a pretty smart idea!

Smart mama

might be a hard sell without real $$

Great idea, many lessons to be learned by the kids. And less time snacking lol

Love it!

Smart parents!

Brilliant!

This is a great idea. If you have money hungry children, be prepared to print up more money! That advantage, your house will sparkle like no other time! Win-Win

$20 to read for half an hour? Heck, when I was a kid, I'd be a millionaire under this system :)

Beautiful idea

Read30 minutes 20$?? 2 days later, you owe me 960$, now im off to bed... lol

Best thing yet! But what do you say when the quarantine is over, and they want REAL money and they can go buy at the store?

The Monopoly money was hidden while I read all the notes. Then I scrolled, lol. and if you throw a few walnuts into that Ghirardelli brownie mix, it's not too bad.

Pretty creative, I like that you use Monopoly money !

Dang inflation tho

Best idea ever. Should keep that up after quarantine ends.

So they get junk food? So work and then reward yourself with junk food

This is hilarious! Wish I thought of it when my kids were little.

GENIUS!!!

Great idea not just for quarantine...

I would literally die

Maybe include healthy snacks too.

Good idea, and fun.

This is absolutely phenomenal! I'm blown away by this. It's absolutely genius. It's teaching the kids how to handle money, how to save if they want high priced items (and the brownies and ice cream priced that high is brilliant). We all bow down to the master. You have nailed it!

Kids don't know any better until they try to buy candy with it at Walmarts. lol

Short-term, great. Long-term, might cause problems by depending on extrinsic motivation so much - just be careful to also build the sense of satisfaction in a job well done, feeling good about contributing to the whole, & gaining skill

awesome

How clever!

If you modify the prices per day relating them to different events, you'll be teaching them an incredible lesson for when they grow up.

whoever wrote the list has got some NEAT handwriting
