Understanding To-Do, Approvals, and Done

Tasks usually move through a simple flow: they need to be done, they may need parent review, and then they are done. Understanding this flow helps parents and kids know what is waiting, what needs approval, and what has already been completed.

Quick Start

  1. Look at the task list for today.
  2. Find tasks that are still waiting to be completed.
  3. Have the assigned person mark a task complete when it is finished.
  4. If the task requires approval, review it as a parent.
  5. Approve the task when it meets the expectation.

Why this helps

Clear tasks can reduce repeated reminders and give children a better chance to follow through.

Good to know

  • Approvals are helpful for tasks where quality matters.
  • Not every task needs approval. Simple tasks can stay lighter.
  • The flow helps reduce arguments because everyone can see the status.

Family Example

Pick one task where approval matters, like cleaning a room or finishing homework setup. Leave easy tasks without approval for now.

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.
