    An Online Chore Chart for Kids that Works Wonders

    By Ellen Pocost

    MyJobChart.com, an online chore chart, makes housework and homework easier to manage and more rewarding for kids.

     

    children doing choresIf you’ve tried paper chore charts and sticker reward systems for housework and found no success, it’s high time for MyJobChart.com.

    The concept is a beautifully simple solution for kids growing up in the digital age. Kids log in with their own password to see their chores for the day. As they complete their chores, they earn points (point values are assigned by parents). These points can then be saved for an important purchase or shared by giving to charities.



    MyJobChart.com’s technology is integrated with Amazon.com, so parents receive an email when an Amazon.com reward is earned. The site teaches children financial fundamentals in a technologically engaging way. We tried it and are happy to report the site is actually kind of fun and easy to navigate—and best of all, it works!
