Course: Get Help With a Child’s Behavior Issue

10. Invite your child to download and use the Trustyy app

2 min

Now that you’ve set clear expectations and consequences in Trustyy, and set up a check-in process for accountability, it’s time to get your child involved. Trustyy isn’t just for parents – it’s designed to be used by all your family members. When children engage with Trustyy directly, they feel included in the process. It becomes a collaborative tool, not a punitive one. They gain ownership over tracking their own behaviors and progress.

Before you invite your Child…

Before you invite your child, it’s a good idea to explain to your child what the Trustyy app is for and how it works. As you do, here are some things you might want to point out:

  • Highlight how it helps everyone to get on the same page about what your expectations are as parents
  • Emphasize how it can help them report and track their own progress and behaviors day-to-day, and get rewarded for their efforts
  • Help them see it positively as a tool to help them achieve their goals faster, and to help you as parents to be more supportive and consistent.
  • Talk about the rewards you have established for their success, and point out that earning the reward is completely in their own control.

Invite your Child to download and use the Trustyy app

The invite tool will send a link that lets them download the Trustyy app directly to their phone.

If needed, after sending the invite, walk them through creating an account.

Show them the interface and features. Show them how to see the expectations and consequences you have talked about previously, and how to make their daily check-ins on expectations you’ve set together.

If they feel the app has positive benefits for them, they will use it. Your active involvement and buy-in will lead to better usage and results.

Let them how you will be using the app daily to follow their progress and offer encouragement.
