SamanthaCarter Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Has anyone used this app for their kid's chores and schoolwork? Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsellian Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I don't use it for my kids, just myself, but my first thought is do the kids all have their own device they can look at it on? If they share I think it would be a pain logging in and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Yes, my 15yo uses it and we're getting ready to set up 10yo with a more rigorous schedule. I don't know much about it because dh got them started on it. Ds15 likes it (is he a bit old for this? I have no idea, lol) because "it keeps me productive and I love checking things off!" :P I had considered getting 10yo a special watch that helps kids keep on task and lets you set alarms, etc. for scheduling (I've seen a few kickstarter ones but there are other watches that do this, too.) but the game-like aspect of Habitica might be just the ticket.

SamanthaCarter Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'm thinking about using it for my ten year old. I don't think we'll have a multiple user problem, because I don't anticipate the 8 year old being as enthusiastic - she doesn't have the gaming bug. Looks like it might be some work on the front end understanding it and setting it up. I'd probably need dh.

SamanthaCarter Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 It was easy to set up after I found a couple of YouTube videos. DS is going strong and very enthusiastic. If any of you have kids that would like to be teammates, please pm me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6packofun Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hmmm, I'm interested in that Memrise site, too. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
