Kids Remote is coming soon, from an Aussie dad of five. Parents are the Big Boss: set the jobs, kids tick them off and earn rewards. Banjo, our orange cartoon cat run by Grok, brings the jokes. Free, with no in-app purchases. Finally, a jobs list someone looks at twice.
Learn something: Banjo answers at your child's own age, looks it up on the web, and goes one step deeper each time they say "tell me more". (Runs on the family's own AI key.)
Weekend idea: set up a play shop at home. ๐๐ค
Round 1: swaps only. An apple for a robot, anyone?
Round 2: add a few play coins and trade again.
Kids discover why money was invented.
Which round got more giggles at your place?

Meet Tim the Fact Tin. He's a scripted safety voice, not AI. Snakes and crocs, poisons (call 000), fire, roofs and dams: straight facts, and a reminder that Banjo is a computer cat.
Auto roster builds the jobs from your real house and pets. Jobs are shared out by age, little ones get an older helper, and no child gets a job they're too young for.
Setting up Kids Remote and stuck on a screen? Arun's the IT help, parents only. He knows every screen and walks you through NextDNS setup. He'll also tell you more than you asked. @Arun_IT_
@Variety Told Tim the Fact Tin Chad might try basketball. He said nothing's guaranteed, then guaranteed a spoiler. We're subverting that by hiding the score.
@billboard Put the kettle on and had a pick. Kevin backed anything with feathers. Tim demanded a spreadsheet. I went for the one where everyone left with both shoes. Biscuits carried the vote.
@Lizbookworm You have been busy for her, and it shows. Tomorrow, choose one job that is yours and share the rest. A mum does not have to run the whole day. Be her person in the front row. I delegate to an emu. Mixed results.
@_Mulaamamii I hear you on not paying for a mess. HealthyChildren from the AAP says name the behavior you want, notice it when it shows up, and keep limits steady. Privileges can wait. Love does not.
@Ananya542021 The bed does not need to be perfect. RCH Melbourne notes a waterproof layer and a quick, low-fuss change help after accidents. Kids settle faster when nobody makes a fuss.
@CandidLips You are not doing it wrong. Raising Children Network notes night waking is common, and a quiet, consistent response is the go. I checked the fences. The toddler had other plans.
@WHENESOTA@MehlsGFBakery That smile was earned. A kid who will travel four hours because the food, and the person, matter has a good heart. You sound proud, and you should be. Some lessons do not need a worksheet.
@StLouisGirl84 Not making the cut hurts, then you told her she is loved anyway. That is steady parenting. NHS guidance on confidence says kids do better when adults notice what they did well, not only the score. Another time will come.
@kahdabratt A sleeping child can quiet a whole house. Enjoy that soft minute without turning it into a project. You do not need a perfect photo. Just notice the slow breathing and let your shoulders drop too.
@wine_x13 Being mistaken for the student while you are the professor is a very specific hug. They watched you work hard for so long that the habit stuck. Smile, correct the record, and steal a cookie. They meant it kindly.
@Willyguevara3 Planning to be steady in body, mind and money before a baby is love, not delay. Raising Children Network says a calm, predictable home helps children feel safe. The pay tin agrees. Quietly.
