How to review all family tasks
Before you add more chores or responsibilities to your children’s lists, it helps to see everything that is already assigned across your family. This article walks you through how to view all tasks in one place inside KiddyCash.
What is a family task list?
In KiddyCash, a task is a chore or activity you assign to a child in exchange for an allowance payment into their kids’ wallet. Your family task list shows every task — whether it is pending, in progress, or completed — for all children linked to your family account.
Reviewing this list before creating new work helps you avoid duplicating tasks, spot children who are overloaded, and balance responsibilities fairly across the household.
Before you start
Make sure you have:
- A KiddyCash parent account with at least one child added to your family
- Logged in at https://kiddy.cash/families/task
If you have not yet created any tasks, see How to create a task for a child first, then return here once tasks exist.
Steps to review all family tasks
-
Open the Tasks page. Go directly to https://kiddy.cash/families/task. This is your central view for all family tasks.
-
Check the task overview table. The page loads a list of every task in your family. Each row shows the information below.
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Task name | The title you gave the task, for example “Wash dishes” or “Take out rubbish” |
| Assigned to | The child’s name the task belongs to |
| Reward | The amount in KES that will be paid into the child’s wallet on completion |
| Status | Whether the task is Pending, Submitted for review, or Completed |
| Due date | The date the task should be finished by |
-
Filter by child (optional). If you have several children — common in larger households across Nairobi and beyond — use the filter at the top of the list to view tasks for one child at a time. This makes it easier to see if one child has too much on their plate before you assign more.
-
Open a specific task for details. Click any task row to open the full task record. You will see the description, any photo evidence the child has submitted, and the reward amount. For a full walkthrough of what you see on this screen, read How to view a child task.
-
Decide your next action. After reviewing, you can:
- Approve a completed task to release the reward to the child’s wallet
- Create a new task if the workload allows
- Edit or remove an existing task that is no longer relevant
Tips for managing tasks well
- Review tasks at the same time each week to build a routine. Consistency matters — the same way saving habits matter most when learned young, routine around chores teaches children responsibility early.
- Keep reward amounts realistic and tied to effort. If you are unsure how to structure this, the guide on how to teach saving step by step without the lectures offers practical framing you can apply at home.
- Use the task list as a conversation tool. Show your child their own completed tasks as a record of what they have earned — it reinforces the connection between effort and their wallet balance.
