KidCash uses traditional incentives and popular game mechanics to naturally encourage your young ones to want to make better choices, to become more independent and strive to be their best...all with less stress on your part. Here is a run down of what those incentives are and how you can use KidCash to achieve them with your young ones.
Studies indicate that people are often more motivated by the fear of losing something than by the prospect of gaining it. Violations can be a useful tool to address unwanted behavior in a way that encourages calm communication and teaches valuable lessons about consequences. By framing violations as an opportunity to learn and improve, you can effectively motivate your child to make better choices.
Occasionally allowing your child to experience not having enough money to get something they desire can be a valuable lesson. This discomfort can help them understand the importance of financial responsibility and motivate them to make greater efforts to earn income. It teaches them the value of budgeting and prioritizing their spending, fostering financial discipline from a young age.
Providing a clear understanding of how tickets can be avoided is an excellent approach to setting your child up for success. If you can help them fully grasp what they should do differently next time to avoid a ticket, consider being lenient on occasions where they've made a mistake. This not only promotes kindness and generosity but also strengthens the bond of trust between you and your child. They will likely respect you more and be motivated to make better choices in the future to avoid disappointment.
Encourage your child to reiterate the reason for a rule if they happen to break one. This practice not only helps them remember the rule better but also forces them to understand the events and circumstances associated with it. It's a valuable learning moment that reinforces the importance of following rules and making better choices.
