Website is a brilliant answer to an age-old dilemma

Whoever came up with this idea is so completely brilliant!!!!! The website is called Handipoints, and it's a fun interactive website that REALLY rewards kids for doing their chores with fun, FREE stuff, while you keep track of their work.

Essentially the idea is this:

You set up an account for you and your child(ren), then make Handipoints Chore Charts and choose which tasks will be on it. Each task is worth a certain number of "points", which the kids then use in "Handiland", a virtual world (like Webkins, Beanie Babie Land, etc) where they can buy stuff with their points, play games, all that good stuff.

You can also set up specific charts for stuff like homework, behavior (at home, at school, good & bad), practicing sports or an instrument, personal hygiene, and lots of other possibilities. The kids check off which tasks they did, then you get to "grade" their charts -- how good did they do completing the task, or did they fib when they marked the chart? There's a lot more to this website as well.

So, if you're kids love being on the computer and you're looking for a good way to motivate them to do their chores (well, that's EVERYONE I know!) then you MUST go see this website!!!
