Hey everyone,
As the CEO at Earnee, I’ve seen a lot of cool stuff happen with our family reward system. But there’s this one story about my 4-year-old daughter that I just have to share. It’s all about how she taught me—and all of us at Earnee—how powerful those little EarneeBucks can be.
Empowering Kids, One EarneeBuck at a Time
So, Earnee is all about giving kids the power to earn and spend their rewards however they want. It’s like having your own little stash of magic coins that you can use to make things happen. And let me tell you, my daughter sure knows how to make magic with those EarneeBucks.
One morning, she comes bouncing into the kitchen, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. “Daddy, can I use my EarneeBucks to have ice cream for breakfast?” she asks with this big grin on her face. I couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Sure, kiddo!” Her face lit up like a Christmas tree, and I swear I could see fireworks going off in her eyes. I watched the neural pathways in her brain being forged in the understanding of the power her EarneeBucks gave her, and it excited her beyond anything else. It also motivated her much more since she could see the tangible value it delivered. She gets up nicer in the morning, hits her sisters less, eats vegetables at dinner, doesn’t slam her door and so many other behaviors, it’s improved hers and our quality of life.
Making Choices and Having Fun
Now, you might think, “Ice cream for breakfast? Is he crazy?” But here’s the thing—letting my daughter use her EarneeBucks for ice cream wasn’t just about indulging her sweet tooth. It was about giving her the power to make choices and feel like she’s in control of her own little world. And in turn showing her the “power” those EarneeBucks have motivates her to want to earn and use them even more. Like any currency, it’s only as powerful as the buying power it holds, if no companies take the currency it’s not worth much.
After that morning, I noticed something amazing happening. My daughter started paying more attention to the things she could do to earn EarneeBucks. She’d help out around the house without being asked, and she’d even come up with her own little projects just so she could earn more rewards. And let me tell you, seeing her take charge like that was pretty darn amazing.
Laughing Through the Ups and Downs
Now, I won’t lie—letting kids be in charge of their rewards can lead to some pretty funny situations. Like the time my daughter wanted to use her EarneeBucks to buy a new house, or when she tried to convince me that cleaning her room deserved a hundred EarneeBucks instead of just 2. But you know what? Those moments of laughter and fun are what make parenting so special.
The Power of EarneeBucks
So, yeah, my daughter showed me the magic of EarneeBucks. It’s not just about earning rewards—it’s about making choices, having fun, and feeling like you’re in control of your own destiny. And as the CEO of Earnee, that’s something I’ll never forget.
