My Rewards 🎁

Welcome to the rewards center! This is where all your hard work pays off. Every activity you complete earns you points, and you can use those points to get awesome rewards that your parents have set up just for you!

What Are Rewards? 🤔​

Rewards are special treats, privileges, or fun things you can get by spending the points you earn from completing activities. Think of points like coins in a video game - the more activities you do, the more "coins" you collect to buy cool stuff!

How Points Work 💰​

Earning Points​

You get points by:

  • ✅ Completing activities - Every finished task gives you points
  • 🌟 Doing great work - Extra points for excellent effort
  • 🔥 Keeping streaks - Bonus points for doing activities many days in a row
  • 🏆 Achieving milestones - Special points for big accomplishments
  • 🎯 Trying new things - Extra points for being brave and learning

Point Values​

Different activities give different amounts of points:

  • 🟢 Easy activities - 10-25 points (like brushing teeth)
  • 🟡 Medium activities - 25-50 points (like homework or chores)
  • 🟠 Hard activities - 50-100 points (like learning new skills)
  • 🔴 Super challenges - 100+ points (like big projects or helping others)

Smart Reward Strategies 🧠​

Save vs. Spend​

Spending quickly:

  • ✅ Gets you rewards right away
  • ✅ Feels good immediately
  • ✅ Keeps you motivated daily
  • ❌ Means you can't get bigger rewards

Saving up:

  • ✅ Lets you get really cool big rewards
  • ✅ Teaches patience and planning
  • ✅ Makes the reward feel extra special
  • ❌ Takes longer to get anything

Best strategy: Mix both! Get some small rewards to celebrate daily wins, but also save up for something special.

Planning Your Rewards​

  1. Pick a big goal - Choose one expensive reward you really want
  2. Calculate the cost - Figure out how many points you need
  3. Plan your path - Decide which activities will help you get there
  4. Celebrate milestones - Get small rewards along the way
  5. Stay motivated - Remember why you want that big reward

ADHD Tip: Write down or draw a picture of the big reward you're saving for. Put it somewhere you can see it to help you remember your goal!

Streaks and Bonuses 🔥​

What Are Streaks?​

A streak is when you complete activities several days in a row without missing a day. Streaks give you bonus points!

Streak Bonuses​

  • 7 days in a row = 50% more points (1.5x multiplier)
  • 14 days in a row = Double points! (2x multiplier)
  • 30 days in a row = Triple points! (3x multiplier)

Keeping Your Streak​

  • Do at least one activity every day - Even small ones count!
  • Set reminders - Ask your parent to help you remember
  • Plan ahead - Know what you'll do tomorrow
  • Don't give up - If you miss a day, start a new streak right away

Some families have "streak insurance" - if you miss one day, you don't lose your whole streak. Ask your parent if this is available!
