10 effective tips to help your children view their tasks on Octave

Octave is an application that already helps thousands of families manage their daily lives and share tasks and responsibilities as a family. By allowing parents to create and share recurring task lists with their children, it naturally promotes their autonomy. No more constant reminders and arguments! Tasks are automatically renewed according to the chosen frequency (every day, week or month), which allows you to establish a stable and predictable routine. A real asset for family serenity!

The key to success in developing your children's autonomy is to encourage them to regularly consult their tasks on Octave. To achieve this, here are 10 practical tips that have proven themselves with many families:

1. Customize their avatars, let them assign themselves a color and use emojis to make the app more attractive and fun to use.
2. Establish a simple daily routine, such as checking the app every morning at breakfast and after school. Consistency helps create a natural habit.
3. Create a reward system: Kids can earn points or special privileges when they regularly view and complete tasks in the app. (Pssst, the token system and interactive General Store are in development in the app!)
4. Set an example by reviewing your tasks on the app in front of them yourself. Children are more likely to adopt the behaviors they observe in their parents.
5. Involve them in creating and organizing their tasks. Let them suggest activities and choose the order of priority, this will make them more responsible.
6. Install the app on their own device (if age appropriate) to give them a sense of autonomy and responsibility.
7. Incorporate mini family challenges where everyone has to check their tasks daily. The collective dimension can make the activity more engaging.
8. Be patient and encouraging, even if they sometimes forget. Help them understand the importance of organization without putting too much pressure.
9. Get into the habit of saying "have you done all your tasks on Octave?" rather than telling them what they need to do directly.
10. If your children ask you to go play outside, to go see a friend or even for screen time, insist that they have first done their tasks on Octave.

How do you plan to implement these suggestions with your children?
