Goals

What are Goals?


Goals give children something meaningful to work towards using the Gems they earn from completing activities and building positive habits.
Parents can create Goals based on things their child values, and children can choose what they want to save their Gems towards.



Goals don't have to cost money

Parents can create Goals for toys and treats, but they can also be experiences, privileges and special family activities.


Letting children save their Gems towards something they really value helps teach goal-setting, saving and delayed gratification.


When you create a Goal, choose how many Gems are needed to achieve it and add an optional image.


We recommend creating a few Goals with different Gem values, giving children a choice between smaller Goals they can achieve quickly and bigger Goals they can save towards over time.
