What Are S’mores?

S’mores are a family reward currency that can be connected to tasks, effort, allowance, privileges, or goals. They help make contribution visible and give kids a way to work toward something meaningful.

Quick Start

  1. Decide whether your family wants to use S’mores right away.
  2. Choose which tasks should earn S’mores.
  3. Keep point values simple at first.
  4. Connect S’mores to rewards, savings, allowance, or privileges.
  5. Review whether the system feels motivating and fair.

Why this helps

Simple recognition can support a new habit while keeping the focus on contribution and growth.

Good to know

  • S’mores do not need to be used for every task.
  • Some families use S’mores for allowance. Others use them for non-money rewards.
  • Clear expectations matter more than high point values.

Family Example

Choose one task that should earn S’mores and one task that should simply be part of family responsibility.

Good to Know

  • Start with the smallest version that solves the problem.
  • Change one setting at a time so you can see what helped.
  • Missed days are information, not proof that your family failed.
  • Open Help in the IAFT app and send a message if something does not work as expected.

Best First Action

Choose one task that should earn S’mores and one task that should simply be part of family responsibility.
