There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards, says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. Kids need positive reinforcement(强化) to help motivate them. What do you think?
