FEATURES (supplied from Tykoon):
• Chore Charts: Parents set up activities on chore charts so kids know exactly what they need to do to earn their allowance each week.
• Allowance Tracking: Tykoon tracks how much allowance kids get each week but only with parental approval, making sure kids are doing what they need to do to earn it.
• Non‐monetary Rewards: Money isn’t the only thing kids want. Tykoon rewards also include minutes for TV, Internet, gaming and staying up past bedtime.
• Goal Setting: Kids and parents work together to set the right financial goals like regularly saving money, saving up for wishlist items and donating to good causes.
• Wishlists: Kids choose items from the Tykoon Store to add to their wishlists. Wishlists can be used to list things kids are saving up to buy, as well as to help extended family members know what the kids want most for the holidays, birthdays and other special occasions.
• Giving: Giving back is important so Tykoon supports many charitable organizations and works with Network for Good to process verified 501(c)3 charity donations through the Tykoon platform.
• Parent Dashboard: Enables parents to set parameters, oversee their child’s activity, assign household chores and approve all transactions before a child makes a purchase.
• Parental Controls: Over 25 parental control and privacy settings that parents can set based on personal preferences.
• Kid Dashboard: Kids can track how much they have saved, set goals and shop online in a kid‐safe, secure Amazon‐powered store that only lets them access what parents let them access.
• Safe & Secure: Certified by kidSAFE® Seal Program and 100% COPPA compliant. • Tykoon Store: Enables kid‐safe, secure online shopping. Parents can control what products kids can see
and the store requires parental approval and participation for every purchase.
• Tykoon Spotted iPhone App: Kids can use the app to snap pictures of what they want and add it to their wish list; parents have easy access to the app for efficient approvals and chore chart updates.
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Tykoon. I received a promotional item as a thank-you for participating. My opinions and thoughts are mine and mine alone.
My son is a little too young for this now, but it looks like a great program for when he is older! Looks very user-friendly too! I like that they have an iPhone app 🙂 Thanks for sharing this info! Bookmarking for the future.
WOW this seems like it is a site I need to check out as well as my son fights bedtime and teeth brushing and he is going to be 5 so I can use it for him as well.
What a great site! I will definitely be needing it in the near future. Love how motivational it is.
Cool resource. My 4-year-old cannot read yet, but loves anything apps! I’ll make a note of them and check them out.
Looks like a very fun site! I was a little confused, is it a free site or a subscription? I can see how this would be motivating for some kids. 🙂
this is awesome!!! I need this to make me do my chores hahaha!!
This is a great site! Would be awesome when my kids get older. Thank you!
Man I wish they had this when I was a kid! I was always asking for extra chores to save up for new toys!
Awesome resource! I’ll definitely be looking into this for my 10 year old. I love the goal setting and giving aspects of it!
I’ll definitely check it out, because this sounds exactly what I need to get my son motivated to do his chores!
I think this sounds great! Especially the budgeting and planning that it teaches the children! Chore charts = awesome!
