Token economy and parental control meet: Kids motivation for video games at the service of homework

What a year! 2020 Last year left us locked up in our houses with very few opportunities to share in other contexts than digital or what we could do in the limits of our house. One of the very first problems that my wife and I started living with our kids was their intense lack of motivation to complete the digital homework's or attend digital classes, they really just wanted to play video games, and also they had to be all day long at home, trying to get their cleaning task done was a nightmare almost all the day the home was a mess. With a previous discouraging attempt with the tokens economy, that being honest required a lot of attention and I discovered that kids don't like the act of writing on a board because they are digital natives, additionally I see how my 6 years old son pays a lot of attention to the video games and he was hooked on the idea that receiving gems and unlock characters, at the time that was an abstract understanding but it was not until this year that I came up with the idea to create a parental control app that was aligned to the tokens economy in order to let the kids understand what is the behavior we expect from them and of course recibe a reward when act as expected. 🚀 If you are interested support us and boost together the parents and education technologies!
