Setting and Tracking Goals

Goals let a kid work toward something specific by contributing points over time, instead of just spending them one reward at a time.

Creating a goal

  1. Go to Goals and tap Add Goal.
  2. Give it a name (e.g. "New bike") and choose the kid.
  3. Set the target number of points needed.
  4. Save — the goal now shows up for that kid with a progress bar.

Contributing points

  • A kid can put some of their point balance toward a goal whenever they like, from their own Goals screen.
  • A parent can also contribute points to a kid's goal directly, as an extra incentive.

Completing a goal

When the goal reaches its target, it's marked complete. What happens next (buying the item, planning the outing, etc.) happens outside the app — PraiseMe tracks the saving, not the purchase.
