KidCash is as flexible as you are. We work hard to create as much value for you as we can dream up. Here are some of the different ways you can implement the system to get your creative juices flowing including our favorites, "The Reverse Psychology", "The Auction" and more.
Actively search for things that merit bonuses. You can take a walk around the house and commend them for keeping things tidy or go through their homework to reward any extra effort you can find. It's about recognizing and celebrating their positive actions.
Get them excited about their goals even before they achieve them. Explain what will earn them the Bonus Bounty and the reasons you want them to put in extra effort to reach it. Remember, it's essential to reward their effort, not just the outcome, to motivate and encourage them.
Set up a Bonus Bounty mailbox for your child, perhaps on their bedroom door or in the kitchen. They can check it daily for exciting opportunities to earn extra dollars when "mail" arrives. If they can't read yet, consider using pictures to convey the tasks and make it more visually engaging for them.
When your child achieves their goal on the first try, it's a significant accomplishment. Celebrate it in a big way!
As tasks become easier for your child, gradually reduce or phase out rewards for those tasks. Keep Bonus Bounty fresh by shifting it to new, challenging tasks to maintain motivation and growth.
Surprise and delight your child by randomly rewarding positive behavior. This unpredictability adds an element of excitement to the rewards, making them even more enjoyable for your child.
In situations where a good act is not directly witnessed by you, it might be a sibling, babysitter, or teacher who informs you of something especially noteworthy. Alternatively, you could have been discreetly observing from around the corner without them knowing you were there. This allows you to reward and acknowledge their positive behavior, even when you weren't present to see it firsthand.
