Every “can I have it?” becomes a lesson instead of a fight.
Five kinds of money, each about one habit: candy, screens, activities, savings and giving. You catch the good stuff in the moment. Saturday, the tally is already done.
Free to try. One price for the whole family, up to 15 kids.
A minute a day is how a lifetime of habits starts.

The week has a rhythm you already know.
Mon – Fri
Watch. Speak up. Write it down.
Catch the good behavior while it's happening and say why it mattered. Corrections wait for the weekend, when nobody's mid-meltdown.
Saturday
Allowance time.
Sit down together. Celebrate what went well, restate the rules, name the one thing to work on. The math is already done.
Sunday
Celebrate.
They spend what they earned: a toy, an outing, something you agreed on. Earning it is what makes it land.
