Make Rewards Feel Real: Add Photos to MyChoreBoard Rewards

Kids stay motivated longer when they can see the reward they’re earning.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce one of our most requested features:

Add Images to Rewards — a simple upgrade that makes rewards feel real, visual, and exciting.

Whether it’s a LEGO set, a new book, art supplies, earbuds, or an ice cream outing, adding a photo helps kids instantly connect their daily chores to a meaningful goal.

Why we built this (and why it matters)

Parents told us:

• “My child forgets what they’re saving for.”
• “They respond better when they can see the actual item.”
• “Visual rewards work better for non-readers.”
• “My older kids want to see the specific thing they’re earning.”

So now, you can attach a real product photo or image to any custom reward.

It makes rewards:

• Concrete, not abstract
• Visible, not imagined
• Motivating, not easily forgotten

This tiny change creates a huge shift in follow-through — especially for younger kids, tweens, and neurodivergent learners who benefit from visual cues.

How it works (fast + parent-friendly)

Adding a photo takes just a few seconds:

1. Go to your Rewards screen
2. Tap New Reward (or edit an existing one)
3. Toggle Add Image
4. Upload from your photo library, clipboard, or drag-and-drop
5. Save — and the image appears instantly in your child’s dashboard

Your child will now see the reward’s thumbnail right where they track progress.

Perfect for product-based rewards

This feature shines when the reward is specific:

• LEGO kits
• Fidget toys
• Headphones
• Craft sets
• Books
• Collectibles
• Clothes or accessories
• Gift cards
• Subscriptions
• Game add-ons

Kids stay laser-focused when they see the actual thing they’re working toward.

Why this motivates kids so effectively

Visual rewards support:

• Internal motivation
• Clear goal-setting
• Consistency and routine
• Reduced reminding and nagging
• Better progress tracking
• More independence

One early parent tester told us:

“When my son sees the picture every day, I don’t have to remind him anymore. He knows exactly what he’s working toward.”

How to make the most of this feature

• Add multiple images over time to keep motivation fresh
• Use specific items, not general categories
• Let your child help choose the photo
• Pair pictures with realistic point values
• Remove old rewards to avoid clutter

Frequently asked questions

Can my child see the picture on their dashboard?

Yes! Kids see the image as a small thumbnail right next to the reward name. It helps them remember what they’re working toward and builds excitement.

Can I upload my own photos or only product images?

You can upload any image: photos you snap, screenshots, product shots, or anything from your gallery.

Does adding a photo change how rewards work?

No — points, costs, and redemption work exactly the same. The image simply adds clarity and motivation.
