How Does it Work?
Kids get money put on their BusyKid Visa debit card through an app controlled by their parents
Money is loaded onto the card as it is earned by kids completing household chores or whatever parents wish to reward their kids for
The dollar amount value for each chore is set by the parents (ex. $1 for making your bed, $3 for taking out the trash)
Parents customize the list of chores according to what they want their kids to work on, as well as deciding the frequency of completing the chores
Many stores accept this debit card, but parents are always asked for approval of the purchase
What Benefits do Occupational Therapists See?
Kids learn money management skills by learning how to earn, save, spend, donate, and invest their allowance
Children gain self-confidence and independence in skills that they will need to know as adults
Kids are challenged and encouraged to complete self-care skills that they normally do not want to do for themselves with this as a reward
