Endorsed by Jamie Oliver this app aims to \u201cempower parents to guide their children through the balanced use of technology\u201d. Parents are able to set limits by creating schedules, block all internet and app usage whenever they want or reward their children with the allowance feature. It really is the best app to ensure you\u2019re voice is heard in this digital age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Choremonster.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2292\" alt=\"Choremonster\" src=\"http:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Choremonster.jpg\" width=\"644\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Choremonster.jpg 644w, https:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Choremonster-300x142.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.choremonster.com\/\">ChoreMonster<\/a><i> \u2013 <\/i><\/b><i style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Engage and reward your kids for helping around the house<\/i><b style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">\u00a0\u2013<\/b><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"> Turn your child\u2019s chores into a game! Or at least a slightly more fun way of earning rewards for working hard. This amazing app has 2 versions: one for the parent and one for the child. The parent is able to set chores, when they are do, how many virtual points completion will earn, and rewards that the child can earn once they\u2019ve reached a certain number of points. All the child has to do is go through the list on their login and choose which chores they\u2019re going to do based on the due time and number of points it will earn them. The parent even has full discretion over whether they believe the chore has been completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2293\" alt=\"cozi\" src=\"http:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/01\/cozi.jpg\" width=\"644\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/01\/cozi.jpg 644w, https:\/\/www.littlebird.co.uk\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/01\/cozi-300x142.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cozi.com\/\">Cozi<\/a> \u2013 <\/b><i>Fantastic organisation app for busy families<\/i><b> \u2013 <\/b>This one is actually a 3-time Mom\u2019s Choice Award Winner.
