'Hire and Fire your Kids' (HFK) - a newly released app that gamifies chores for reluctant children and frustrated parents - is now available on subscription via the App Store and Google Play.
-- Following the release, parents who subscribe can introduce game-playing elements to daily tasks to encourage children to engage with chores and earn rewards for positive behavior. The goal behind the HFK app is to reduce family friction with a system based on behavioral science and the core concepts of Recognition, Reward, and Consequence.

The gaming component of the app revolves around a hiring and firing system - parents post jobs that children apply for. Once 'hired', they can earn rewards if tasks are completed. Children can get 'fired' if they repeatedly fail to follow 'house rules' set by the family - at which point they have to face their agreed forfeit or consequence. Each rule violation earns a warning (X), and parents aren't exempt - they, too, can receive warnings, ensuring that everyone is actively engaged in the game.
“The object of the game is for the kids to finish each pay period without getting fired so they can keep their incentive bonuses and prevent their selected consequence from being activated,” a spokesperson explains.
According to the HFK website, 42% of children own a smartphone by the time they are ten years old. By age fourteen, this percentage is as high as 92%. Recognizing this digital reality, the team behind the app set out to help parents turn their children's screen time habits into something productive while embracing the challenges of modern parenting.
The team recognizes that one of the biggest frustrations for parents is the constant need to nag their children to help out at home - often leading to tension, frayed tempers, and family time feeling more like a battleground. As such, HFK aims to ease these struggles by providing a structured yet engaging system that clarifies expectations.
The app helps clarify what parents expect of their children and provides a clear, and fun, system to make these goals achievable. All game rules, rewards, and consequences are customizable to meet the needs of each family.
The HFK team believes that the principles behind the app will help children develop a stronger sense of responsibility that they can carry into adulthood. Additional details can be found at https://hireandfireyourkids.com/play
Janet Arnold - a Behavior Consultant and Positive Parenting Practitioner- says, "It’s more than just doing their chores; it's about supporting our children to build independence in many different areas and to become self-reliant individuals who can become productive members in their communities."
Subscription for the HFK app costs $42 for one year. Interested parties can download the app from the App Store, Google Play, and other popular app outlets.
