Rewards and device economy

Screen Time, Chores, And Boundaries

Homeschool is never an earning trigger. Rewards stay attached to household duties, posture, activity attendance, and approved new-food tries.

Current Rules

  • Screens are allowed after basics and helpful contributions.
  • Screens pause for food, hygiene, chores, and bedtime.
  • Learning is outside the reward economy.

Still To Ratify

  • Baseline screen access.
  • Daily caps.
  • Point-to-minute exchange rate.
  • Which chores count and who confirms them.

Reward Notes

Add earning ideas, device rules to test, or kid-specific notes.

Posture and care anchors

Short Daily Body Cards

Posture stays short and practical. Any pain or injury gets routed to a professional.

Mayzie

Posture + Eye Anchor

Eye patch/training after breakfast. Add posture cue and short routine.
Ledger

Play Movement

Add simple play movement, stretching, or car-themed cleanup movement.

Family lists

Needs, Wants, And Experiences

Needs stay separate from wants so money, timing, and family planning do not blur together.

Household Purchase List

  • Shoe rack (bought and set up)
  • Weed whacker for the backyard
  • Flat shovel / spade
  • Round-point digging shovel
  • TV stand
  • New vacuum
Add practical purchases, measurements, prices, or priority notes.

Wants And Experiences

  • Calgary Stampede
  • Lake days
  • Volleyball lessons
Add experiences, dreams, family outings, and timing ideas.

Family profiles

Built Around Who Everyone Actually Is

Profiles include practical support notes. Sensitive numbers should stay offline or in a secure document store.

Parent operating layer

Tanya Plans. Travis Executes.

The system should reduce Tanya's mental load and give Travis a clear command view when he is covering the house.

Tanya Layer

Priorities, planning, family rhythm, homeschool direction, evidence capture, emotional realism.

Travis Layer

Must happen, should happen, optional bonus, fallback. Clear authority without a long packet.

Minimum Day

Food, hygiene, safety, devices paused for meals and bedtime, and one small reset. Stability counts.
