"I'm just in awe of the transformation! I really didn't expect this to be a "help" to me. I thought they'd be doing a few chores... and in the end it would probably be more work for me. I can't tell you how happily surprised I am! My girls are knocking out chores and doing them well. Instead of creating more work, they're truly helping! And the pride my girls have is incredible! They're contributing, they're proving responsible, and their doing their jobs well! . . .I know this system was designed for children and to help them learn to be accountable, contributing family members. And it's doing that... my kids are learning. What I didn't expect, was what it's teaching me... that my girls can do more than I thought they could. That I had underestimated them. And it's making a closer-knit."

"Fritz gets a Privilege Pass if he stays in bed all night long. Before we started with this, he came into our room 6 out of 7 nights a week. Since we started the Privilege Pass, he has not come into our room in a month and a half! Adrian earns a Privilege Pass if he sits nicely at dinner. He earns it three or four times a week (which is a definite improvement). Both boys can turn in their Pass to have a story read to them."

"Each time we are at the supermarket and they ask for a toy or candy, my reply is..........do you have enough money to buy it? Genius, I am no longer a bad Mummy for not buying them everything they want. . . I have never seen my children so keen to do things that I have been nagging them to do. It totally took the stress out of the everyday. And they were even keen to do things that they never dreamt of doing before. e.g. Bringing in the rubbish bin, HELLO, this has never happened before."

"After reading about it (Accountable Kids), I was very intrigued and told my hubby that, "WE HAVE TO GET THIS!!" It seemed to be the answer to my questions, "How can we get our kids to take responsibility around here? Why do I have to pester them ALL THE TIME to even pick up their clothes? When will I ever be free to do something other than pick up after them?!" Brad wasn't as easy of a sell. He wanted to make our own system. We used a chore chart for about 3 days before it got ripped down, forgotten, and left behind. He also told me I had to give the Dunaways a year (or so) to test it out for us to see if they still liked it after a year. I'm happy to report that they DO still use the system and are glad they have it!"

"Each day, each one of my kids knows the things they are supposed to do without being bugged about it because it is already set on their peg. This gives them the ownership of the responsibility and helps to relieve me of my job of perpetual shepherd and nag-mom. . . Now they (my kids) are learning that many things, like TV, are privileges, and in life privileges must be earned. I really like that the requirements for earning these privileges are not difficult, but more just a responsible way to contribute to the household as they already should be doing."

"It's not just a "chore chart" which we've tried plenty of times before. It's almost a lifestyle change! . . .The boys are learning to serve others with the "Helping Hands" card, which requires them to go ask someone around the house if they need help. I love it, and they love how happy it makes me."

"I do like this system and I really like having my children do chores. Right now, I would rate the system as a 3 but with potential to be a 5. My kids are just young and strange in that they don't really ask to do things. . . There are a ton of chores on the chore cards to choose from: from taking out garbage or car care to doing homework or reading the Scriptures. I like that there are extra blank cards to personalize, too."

"The system has really been worth the money. And most importantly, it's not a short term fix. You can continue to add new or different responsibilities and customize it to your child's age and needs."

"So the basic idea behind this program is that you
teach your kids to be independent and responsible for themselves and their
choices. They have to do it on their own and each family can tailor it to their
needs."

"Like any other system that you may choose to implement, the changes that need to take place require time and patience before they are a routine. I will say that the built in rewards definitely helped my children with their excitement to participate with the Accountable Kids program."

"The program has different phases, so you don't jump in all at once. This has been great for our family, as the kids are at different levels, both socially, and physically.
I'm so glad that I have found Accountable Kids. There is no longer any question as to who does what, and when to do it. It is all very clear, and the kids know what is expected of them. I highly recommend this program for parents of small children. It really does help them to feel important, like part of the team, and like they have some control over what they do each day."

"This program has definitely helped my sanity. I think it's helpful for me, because it's a "no argue" method. The board, reminder cards and tickets are all there, in plain sight. No fighting about what needs to be done, etc."

"The main reason why I started the program is because there is so much that we need to/ want to get accomplished in any given day that doesn't happen if we waste time. With the accountable kids program the girls get through all of their responsiblities with more free time and more time to spend together as a family"

"Now that we have this chore chart set up, she runs to the chart to see what she needs to do next and is SO excited to turn over each card. Before it was a battle to get her hair done and for her to eat her vitamins. But now she dances to the kitchen announcing it is now time for vitamins!"

"What I discovered is that the kids have found security in their routines. They have been able to take pride in their belongs, home and self. The confidence I have seen in them is awesome. I didn't realize that how my nagging and yelling was keeping them from growing into a capable child."

"This program is definitely moving things to a state of order in my home. It is very well laid out. VERY easy to understand and definitely has great potential to work with virtually any family. You will get out of this system what you put into it. If you're passionate and excited about it, your children will be as well. If you are consistent, then they will see you mean business."

"Oh, and one last note: bedtime! Bedtime is becoming so much more pleasant. Since it is getting dark early now, right after dinner we go ahead and do our evening cards: cleaning up the toy mountains in the living room, bath time and teeth brushing. This has meant that we've had plenty of time in the evening to read stories and do fun stuff. No scurrying, no frustration when someone is pokey. No exasperation over little things. Last night, we spent our free hour playing Jenga with daddy "

"Ok. Don't run away screaming. I know it looks overwhelming, but in reality,
this is my new tool of peace! This system can be used from about age 4 to 15 in
my opinion. All my kids picked up on everything very quickly. I have a 8,9,10,
and 14 year old, and I think any one of them could have used the basic system
as early as 3 or 4. Now, here is the amazing thing about this! This brings
together ALL the things I've ever wanted to bring together to run the family
into one easy to use and integrate system."

"I will say the changes have been enormous, some easy, and some very hard.
There are days that there are major melt downs, but those are becoming fewer
and farther between. I am not perfect, it's not just a program for the kids, it
helps me to be a better mom too. The hardest part has been on Grandma, she
doesn't like to not have the TV on, but really it HAD to be done. Now my kids
don't just veg in front of the TV, they read, they get their homework done,
most of their chores, and are from what I can see happier. We are all more
productive because the entitlement mentality has been removed."

"Confession time...I am not the most organized person, especially when it comes
to schedules, check lists, calendars, routines, cleaning, etc. The question is
how does a person who probably struggles with some ADD tendencies herself come
up with a plan to help her kids focus? After watching their video demo, I knew
I had found the right solution for our family. We are all still a work in
progress, but I will say we are all improving! I am SO THANKFUL for the
Accoutability Kids program. No longer do I have to wake my 8 year old daughter
and set out her clothes. She is up and going all on her own. The TV is hardly
ever on. They both would rather use their tickets for other things, and often
chose to leave the TV off! I've also noticed them helping each other and
pitching in without even being asked."

"They can earn an allowance for doing chores outside the everyday scope and are
beginning to grasp the concept of buying things for themselves after working
for it. It's not rocket science but what I am realizing is that the creators of
this program have really thought of everything! ~ Thanks, Brigot"

"My son said to me the other day, when I asked him if he finished his chores,
'You promised that you wouldn't bug us anymore once we started the program.' I
told him that he was right and that I was sorry for nagging him. The biggest
thrill for me was when he finished his chores and said to me, "Mommy, I think
this program is working . . . I am excited to report that we have been on time
everyday so far and the kids have actually done a fantastic job getting up,
getting dressed, making their beds, brushing their teeth, asking for their
vitamins, etc...all with a happy spirit."

"Since we began using AK, roughly 6 weeks ago, our children have actually been

privileges they are working for."

"I know this sounds too good to be true. But I am thrilled with what it has
done for our family. There are certainly still challenges and we are currently
working on the QUALITY of the work they are doing, but we are leaps and bounds
where we were a month ago. The house seems more peaceful and more creative. "

"When I bought Accountable Kids I thought that it sounded like a great system
but after using it I am blow away by how something so simple could change my
family. My kids are doing almost the same chores that they did before, but it
has completely changed their attitude while doing it. It has eliminated me
telling my kids over and over."

"I just can't believe how different our day-to-day life has become. . . I can't
really adequately put into words what a relief it is to end the day with a
clean and orderly house and nothing really on my plate except to relax for a
bit and then get to bed at a decent hour. I used to have to stay up until at
least midnight just to get the "bare minimum" done. I used to have a mental
to-do list that overwhelmed me pretty much all of the time. . . I didn't
designate much to the boys, because it just seemed easier to do it myself than
to interrupt their play and monitor them while they did the task. . . I no
longer feel overwhelmed by my responsibilities- everything gets accomplished at
the designated time, and it is a wonderful feeling."

"I cannot tell you how much easier this program has made my life! This is no
joke, our mornings are stress-free and our days are so much smoother.
Accountable Kids was designed with morals and values being at the core of its
makeup.turning the "what" in regards to what's expected of little members of a
household into more into the "why." It was evident after a while that parents
and children everywhere could benefit tremendously from a program such as
this."

Chores were not getting done in the Stewart house and I was starting to

pick up their toys, or put their dishes in the sink, or get in the tub, or get
dressed, or...,or...,or...

"I assumed the program would not function while I was gone, but left the girls
instructions to try to make it work if they could. Did they ever!! They both
earned stars every single day. Dad brought them home from Grandma's late on
Friday night and was somewhat dismayed to discover that they weren't going to
bed until all of their bedtime jobs were done. Yay! "
"my girls were previously in the habit of doing most of these jobs. I really
didn't add much and the program advises you to start small and then gradually
add more jobs. The only thing this has changed is that there is now
accountability and motivation for doing the jobs required."

"My husband and I regularly fight over discipline techniques, consequences,
what privileges are "allowed"... we just were completely NOT on the same page.
When I did more research on this system, I discovered that it would be GREAT if
it helped start our 2 young boys out on the track of being ACCOUNTABLE
people...but it would be even BETTER if it could get us, as parents, on at
least in the same CHAPTER."

"Probably the one thing I love the most is the flexibility with this system. We
are not really a "clean the bathroom every single day" kind of family. Once a
week is good for us. So I was able to adjust how we use the cards in order to
accommodate our weekend chores vs. weekday chores. I love it."

less yelling because the kids already know what the consequences are."

"I have seen many benefits from using this program. My kids love the structure
of it and I love the flexibility of it. I can easily adapt it to meet our

responsibilities and that they are not entitled to everything."

"At first glace, this looks like an expensive wooden board and a bunch of
cards. However, after just a few days of using this program, my children were
not only helping out more, but enjoying it!! My husband and I knew we were
doing something wrong but didn't know how to fix it. The benefits from
Accountable Kids are HUGE. Less nagging, happier children, less foot stomping,
better attitudes, happy Mom!"
