For chores completed─and approved by Ms. Wise─the app doles out digital coins the kids can redeem for rewards, such as TV time or a trip to the yogurt store. The siblings compete to see who wins the most coins and like seeing their avatars earn new strengths and skills each time they finish a job. Rafaela says she loves playing with her kitty avatar, and 'it's fun getting paid' in rewards.
完成家务并且得到怀斯的核准后,该软件就会相应奖励一些电子货币,孩子们可以用这些货币来兑换奖品,比如看电视的时间或去酸奶店喝酸奶的机会。三个人相互竞争,看谁赢得了最多的货币,他们也喜欢看到自己的虚拟化身在每次完成家务之后获得的新能量和新技能。拉斐拉说,她很享受操作她的小猫化身,另外,“能够得到报酬也十分有趣”。
For Ms. Wise, who says she was concerned about keeping the kids busy this summer, the results have been surprising: 'They make their bed, pick up their rooms, and my daughter goes out in the yard and picks up the dog poop! I'm like, 'Who are these children?' '
之前,怀斯很头疼如何才能让孩子们在这个夏天过得充实些,现在的结果让她非常吃惊:“他们自己整理床铺,整理房间,我的女儿还跑去院子里清理狗粪!我都要惊呼了:‘这是谁家的孩子啊?’”
While preschoolers often like to lend a hand with adult tasks, fewer parents are optimistic they will hear the words 'What can I do to help?' from their older kids. The number of 9- to 12-year-olds who help with household tasks fell 9% between 1997 and 2003 to 72%, according to the latest trend data available, published in a study in the International Journal of Time Use Research. And it may have fallen further amid kids' rising use of videogames, computers and cellphones, says the study's author, Sandra Hofferth, a family-science professor at the University of Maryland and an authority on children's time use. By ages 16 to 18, only 65% of kids take part in chores, Dr. Hofferth says.
