The 6 Behavior Rules
- 1Speak respectfully to parents and grandparents.
- 2No swear words — you know which words are not allowed.
- 3Listen the first time when a parent gives you an instruction.
- 4Use a calm voice when you are upset or making a point.
- 5Always tell the truth. A lie results in an immediate strike.
- 6Treat people and property with respect — as if it were yours.
How Daily Missions & Strikes Work
Every day has its own list of missions — they change a little depending on whether it's a weekday, Saturday, or Sunday. Mark a mission Done when you finish it, and it goes to a parent for review. You can't approve your own missions.
There are two separate strike counters, each capped at 3 strikes per week:
- Daily Duty Strikes — for missions that aren't done.
- Behavior Strikes — for breaking one of the 6 rules above.
If either counter reaches 3 in a week, the $5 base allowance is locked for that week. Quests are separate — you can still earn quest rewards no matter what happens with the base allowance.
