Chores and rewards basics

The core ChoreHero loop is simple:

1. parents create chores
2. children see what is due
3. chores are completed or submitted
4. parents review when needed
5. rewards and progress stay visible

Chores

ChoreHero is built for recurring household routines, not just one-time checklists.

Parents can use chores to:

• set expectations clearly
• assign recurring work
• decide when parent review is required
• control whether proof is part of the flow

Approvals and proof

Some chores can be approved directly, while others may require submission or proof before they count as complete.

Proof behavior can depend on plan access and current subscription state. If a proof option is missing or unavailable, review Billing and subscriptions.

Rewards

Rewards help make progress visible and reinforce follow-through.

Parents usually manage:

• what rewards exist
• when a reward can be claimed
• whether a reward still fits the current household routine

Dashboard expectations

Parents and children do not use the same surface in the same way.

• parent views focus on planning, approvals, settings, and oversight
• child views focus on what is due, what is done, and what can be earned next

Good setup habits

To keep routines clear:

• start with a small number of chores
• make reward rules easy to understand
• avoid changing too many rules at once
• document support-facing behavior whenever the daily flow changes
