- Unpack school bag & homework
- Clear dinner plates to the sink

Common Questions
Printable Routine FAQ
How do I introduce this chart without causing friction?
Sit down together on a relaxed weekend morning. Treat it as a game, not a chore list. Let your child choose their hero name, pick an agreed weekend treat, and start with just 2 easy tasks they already like doing.
What if my child forgets or refuses to do a task?
Do not yell or deduct stars. Natural consequences work best: uncompleted quests simply do not earn stars. Stay encouraging: “That is okay! You missed morning teeth so no star, but you can earn the afternoon stars!”
How do we transition from paper to the Routaroo app?
Paper is great for building the physical habit on the kitchen fridge. When tallying stars manually becomes tedious, scan the QR code to let the Routaroo app automate stars, approvals, and celebratory sounds.
