Now that the kids will soon be (or already are) off school for the summer, you may have noticed their usual Responsibilities Checklist doesn’t make a lot of sense (this comment makes sense to Active Allowance members) – my kids take great delight in putting NA beside “being ready for school”!
Here’s an idea for Active Allowance members:
You can create a special Summer Responsibilities checklist (as Leslie’s doing right now) and then revert to the old one after the holidays. It’s really easy to do – easy as 1, 2, 3. Here are the steps:
- Click the NEW/COPY button on your child’s Responsibilities Checklist
- Choose one of the options. You might want to copy her current checklist to start off, give it a new name (eg Summer Responsibilities), then modify it. Later, you can use this same screen to copy it to your other children
- Tailor it to your heart’s content.
The “active” checklist is the one you see in the drop-down window – select the new one when summer starts. Once the kids are back at school, just reselect the old checklist and you’re done.
That’s it. Have a great holiday!
