# How do I decide how many gems and tokens per activity

**We have made our own suggestions as to how many Gems and Tokens are awarded per activity. However, you can customise these depending on your needs.** 

If you want to incentivise something that your child is very reluctant to do, for example, take a shower, do some exercise or eat their vegetables!, then you can offer higher rewards to encourage them. Once they are in a good habit of doing that thing, you could drop the rewards for that and increase the rewards for something else.

There will be a bit of trial and error to begin with as you see how much screen time they are having versus how much non-screen activity they are doing, and we recommend regular tweaks over time to keep ScreenCoach fresh and motivating for them.

**Consider having fewer Tokens and Gems by default where the children can get a bonus based on the rewards that you want to encourage such as doing it when asked once or doing it without being asked.**
