"Choremonkey makes my life easier because I don't have to keep asking my mom, "What do you want me to do now?" I follow my chart and I know!"

Hello Parents,

You are about to experience the BEST web based application for bringing together children and chores! Oh wait, stick around because there is so much more!

Our children and technology seem to be neck in neck, both are amazing and they grow so fast. Ah, but our children of today are the creators of tomorrow’s technology. It is our job today, right now, to teach our children. To teach them important character traits and it is our job to teach them how to get along, and to be responsible for themselves, for their own actions. Sure we want a bright future, but we also want great kids today, and we want to spend A LOT of quality time with our kids today. We don’t want to waste that precious time raising our voice and nagging about chores and responsibility. Do you want to know how to teach your kid’s fairness and understanding in a society so mixed? How to teach them the importance of chores and responsibility without the hounding and hollering?

We’ll teach you with Choremonkey.com. This simple web based application is amazing!

1. The chore charts help teach important character traits. A few key traits are listed below:
   Responsibility
   Fairness
   Honesty
   Courage
   Respect
   
   
2. Character traits are important to all young children. Good character traits will help guide your child to find success in life, family and school.
   
   Your character is defined by your actions, not by what you say or might think.
   
   Good character requires doing the right thing, even when it is really hard and scary at times.
   
   What you do is so important because one person can make a difference in one or many lives.
   
   Good character is what makes you a better person and it makes the world a better place.
   
   
3. Choremonkey also gives you the parent the freedom to decide how children will use the program.
   
   Online users – Parents assign a user id and password.
   
   Offline users – Charts are printed so children can have the hands on experience. For best results attach the chart to a clipboard. Let kids decorate the clipboard for added sense of ownership.
   
   
4. We don’t require that kids spend any more time in front of the computer. Parents can easily print the chore charts and all children can use them offline. You can mold the system to suit your own family dynamics.
   
   
5. Parents don’t have to pay out big at the end of the week. You choose the reward. It doesn’t have to be financial.
   
   
6. KIDS LOVE CHOREMONKEY!
   
   “Choremonkey helps keep me organized. And when I know everything is done I feel much happier.”
   ~ Samantha, 11
   
   "When you are done with your chores I like that I can take my time and mark my charts, I can add smiley faces or make notes... I really like it!"
   ~ Jessica, 11
   
   "I love choosing the borders for my chore chart!"
   ~ Marie, 6

SO WHAT MAKES CHOREMONKEY SO AMAZING?

1. It is a web based application.
   We are entering a new era where downloading software is yesterday’s news. Today more people are opting for web based applications. You do not need to save anything onto your hard drive. It doesn’t matter what type of computer or connection speed you have, there is nothing to download. It doesn’t matter how much memory you have available or space on your hard drive. PLUS… you are not storing any personal info about your kids.
   
   
2. We supply dozens of fun borders for you to choose from!
   And we will consistently offer more borders every few months so your children will never grow bored! We have found that what makes Choremonkey so unique is that you can choose a new border each week! This means kids will not grow bored and they will always have a fun and exciting chart to look at.
   
   
3. You can change the chores and responsibilities on a weekly basis.
   You are not committed to use the same chores over and over again, nor do we choose the chores for you. Plus, charts are broken down into several sections:
   
   Morning routine
   Afternoon routine
   Chores
   Extra Credit
   Nightly routine
   
   You fit your choices into each section. The breakdown of sections makes it so much easier for kids to follow along. This is also an appreciated help to parents of children with special needs, including ADD or ADHD.
   
   
4. Kids love marking the charts!
   “Marking” their charts is a HUGE part of the success of choremonkey. Kids are doing more than just marking their charts. We encourage you to have the kids initial their charts! Just like school when teachers have parents initial agenda’s or homework assignments. Now the kids can feel just as important as Mom and Dad! For the wee little ones, ages 3-5, you can use stickers. Although even at five years old, kids can make the first letter of their first name. This makes the kids feel like the charts and their responsibilities are a very important contribution to the family. After all, we do stress how important school is, and teachers stress how important parents initials are. The clipboards also add that feeling of importance, especially if you hang the chart in mom or dads office.
   
   
5. Enforces positive and pro-active behavior.
   There is no big payoff at the end of the chore chart. You can choose it to be whatever you like! We even include Certificates to print out and reward your children with. So what’s up with no big pay off?
   
   Choremonkey is designed this way to give your family more options with your children and chore charts. You might not believe in a financial reward for chores. You might encourage chores for an allowance. You might offer small rewards like a bubble bath in the garden tub or lunch with Mom and Dad! You just might opt for a hug and thank you and a few words of endearment. However you choose to teach your children is just that, your choice. We don’t put any unnecessary pressure on you as parents. It is not about money, or rewards. It is about finding peace and family values at home. It is about teaching your children to be better people. It is about giving your children self confidence and a sense of belonging to the family. It also about teaching your children to be pro-active, teaching your children to be responsible for themselves without blaming their siblings, friends or even you as parents. They can take responsibility for their own actions and feel good about it when they do!
   
   
6. Choremonkey adds to family time and quality time with the family.
   You can spend quality time with your children each night as you discus their charts… or check for their initials. Even though the charts are setup on a weekly basis it is never too early for a “good job” kiss on the cheek. Each chart is individualized so the children have no need to fight and argue. And they will learn that if big sister doesn’t complete her chart, that is her responsibility and she deals with the consequence with Mom. No point in arguing about. My kids have (in the extra credit section) “I argued with siblings today.” “I had a good day with my siblings today.” My kids will still argue, but they mark their chart and own up to their behavior! What a difference it makes. You will certainly appreciate the quality that will replace the hollering and nagging!
