Tasks, subtasks & timers

Goal​

Child-friendly task structure: clear steps and duration.

For whom​

Parents detailing morning/evening routines.

Where in the app​

Day editor /parent/calendar → add task → subtasks/timer.

Prerequisites​

Day open in edit mode.

Step by step​

  1. Add a task with short title and recognizable icon.
  2. Set stars if the task counts toward rewards.
  3. Add subtasks: small steps the child can check off separately.
  4. Optional: timer per task or subtask (minutes) — child starts timer on /child.
  5. Timers give visual/signal when done (sound depends on device).
  6. Order of tasks/subtasks defines flow on the child screen.
  7. Test as parent on /child whether timers and subtasks feel logical.

Options & settings​

Timers are a helper, not a replacement for parental guidance.

Tips & troubleshooting​

Start with 3–5 subtasks per routine; too many steps overwhelm young children.
