GritSprout is an app that ties rewards to real effort - kids unlock concrete prizes after maintaining their daily habits for multiple consecutive days.

# Prizes and rewards that actually motivate kids

Not fridge stickers. Real prizes, chosen by the family, earned through consistent daily effort. The child sees progress and knows exactly what to do.

## Why typical rewards don't work

- Stickers and gold stars lose their charm after a few days - the child sees no clear link between effort and reward.
- Verbal promises ("if you behave, you'll get...") are vague and hard to track for both sides.
- Rewards given too easily don't teach the child the value of sustained effort.

## How prizes work in GritSprout

### Family-chosen prizes

Parent and child pick the prize together and set the unlock condition (a 7-day streak, 30-day streak, or a special achievement).

### Visible daily progress

The child sees every day how close they are to the prize. The progress bar and streak grow with each checked day.

### Achievements and milestones

Beyond main prizes, the child earns achievements for key milestones - first 7-day streak, 50 check-ins, and other configurable milestones.

## Real example

> Lucas (6) wanted a Lego car. His parents set it as a prize with the condition: a 14-day streak on all 3 activities (brushing teeth, getting dressed alone, tidying toys). On day 14 he unlocked the prize and is now "negotiating" the next one - a coloring book.
