Approvals let a parent review a completed task before it is counted as fully done. Use approvals when quality matters or when a child is still learning what “done” means.

Quick Start

1. Open or create a task.
2. Turn on approval if the task should be reviewed.
3. Have the assigned family member complete the task.
4. Review the completed work.
5. Approve it if it meets the expectation.

Why this helps

A focused check can solve the problem without rebuilding the family setup.

Good to know

• Approvals are useful for tasks, homework setup, room resets, and tasks that need a standard.
• Use fewer approvals for simple tasks so the system does not become heavy.
• Approvals work best when expectations are clear before the task starts.

Family Example

Choose one task this week that needs approval and one task that does not. Keep the system light.

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.
