Blog Link Party with My Job Chart

 Are you ready to share your newest creations?! Link up your crafts, makeovers, DIY projects, recipes etc... And don't just stop at 1, link as many as you'd like! I am on the hunt for items to feature and people to guest blog so show me what you got!

I think any parent would agree that getting your kids to help around the house is not always the easiest thing to do. Often times I find myself thinking "Its not worth the hassle. I'll just clean it myself!" And I know I am not alone in this- parents all over the world for generations now have been trying to find the best system for engaging their kids in household chores and to work and be responsible in a fun and positive way. Well my friends, I'd like to introduce you to a system than really works!

Any veteran follower of Somewhat Simple is no stranger to this GREAT website- I have been a fan of MyJobChart for over a year now!

 My Job Chart an online chore chart system that is completely customizable. This FREE program will engage your tech-savvy kids online and will probably be more motivational that the chore chart hanging on the wall! 

My Job Chart is so easy to set up- here is how it works:

• Sign Up for a free account. (Did I mention the program is FREE?)
• Upload a picture of your child and list their chores. You can have daily, weekly or monthly chores or bonus chores to be done every so often.
• Assign each chore a point value and name a reward that your child can receive upon earning a certain amount of points. Some of my friends have each point worth a penny, others have the reward come when their child has earned a total of 500 points or whatever. You're the parent, you decide what motivates your child the best.  
• Once the setup process is complete, your child can login and start working! After each task is complete, they put a check mark next to it and it is sent to you (the parent) via text or email for your approval. (This is one feature I love- they can't just check the jobs as done and get their points- it all has to be approved by ME!)
• If you approve the task as complete, the points are added to the child's account.

Giving children the chance to earn "points" will definitely motivate the to earn the "toys" they want or need, but it will also teach them how to save, how to share with charities, and teach them the value of work and earning a dollar!

Check out this video How MyJobChart.com Works and see why over 55,000 kids are using My Job Chart and how your life as a parent can become that much easier!
