Simple idea that actually works!
Ref Marty is one of those apps that’s so simple you wonder why it didn’t already exist. Instead of constantly repeating ourselves, we can just show the appropriate card and our son immediately understands where he stands.
I especially like that the app doesn’t try to tell you how to parent. It’s just a simple visual tool that you can work into whatever system already works for your family.
The green, yellow, blue and red cards are easy for kids to understand, and the whole app is clean, quick and distraction-free. We’ve even turned good green days into goals and rewards, which has made it surprisingly fun for our son.
No complicated setup, accounts, or learning curve. Open it, pick a card, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Definitely worth trying if you have a younger kid who responds well to visual reminders.
