Next steps

  1. Choose an activity with an adult: a walk together, a ball game, drawing, a board game or reading. Pick something you enjoy and can take part in.
  2. Agree on a small goal. Write down what the activity involves and when it counts as finished. Choose an alternative for days when the plan does not fit.
  3. Choose a reward if you want one: for example, picking the next family board game or the route for a shared walk. Agree beforehand, without money or in-game purchases.
  4. After the activity, mark it yourself on your chart or activity list. You do not need to send a photo or your location as proof.
  5. Ask an adult to approve the activity. Only approved activities count towards the goal. If you disagree, review the agreement and adjust it together.
  6. When you reach the goal, the adult gives the agreed reward. Record that it has been given before starting a new goal.
  7. Discuss what was fun and what to try again. You can always choose activities without points or rewards; it should not become a competition between children.

Avoid

  • Do not require photos, location or constant tracking to recognise an activity.
  • Do not use payments, random prizes or in-game purchases as rewards.

For parents

  1. Rewards are optional. Food, sleep, care, help and ordinary contact with friends must not depend on points or completed activities.
  2. Adapt goals and activities to your child. Allow for weather, accessibility and changed plans; recognise effort even when an activity did not go as expected.
  3. An activity list is a manual agreement. It does not prove movement or screen time, or automatically change access to other apps.
