We decided to use a report card concept because we have all been students at one point in our lives. In fact we are all perpetual students and in a consistent state of learning. Instead of Social Studies, Math and Reading we decided to focus on 3 other key ‘classes’ that create the ‘core’ of living a balanced life: (Mind, Body and Spirit). We’ve all heard of the importance of these 3 areas in creating a meaningful life. But how do we create this learning for our children…..

We decided to put specific goals and rewards with each of these categories and it looks like this:


We have 2 elements we built into the system for children to learn about choices regarding the mind: Chores and Money

Chores - The system has age specific chores that parents can select from. Each time your child completes the chore on-time, like handing homework in on-time, they will earn points. A quality chore, done in a timely manner, earns the most points and teaches responsibility and a solid WORK ETHIC!

Money - As the points are earned they can be converted (the system will do this for you) into either prizes or money. The money will be a piggy bank or checkbook depending on your child’s age. Like a bank account, money earned can be deposited and withdrawn. Tracking money management teaches FINANCIAL HEALTH!

We have 2 elements we built into the system for children to learn about choices regarding the body: Nutrition and Exercise

Nutrition - Children are given a very easy to use nutritional guide. The guide educates them on number of servings eaten daily, earning top points when the right goal in each food category is met. Eating a balanced diet teaches NUTRITIONAL HEALTH!

Exercise - Children can select from a FUN list of exercises they play on a daily basis (i.e. dodge ball, tag, four square, etc.). The system will track their daily activities and how much time they spent playing. Points are earned based on the number of activities and minutes. Maintaining a regular exercise program teaches PHYSICAL HEALTH!

We have one special element we have built into the system for children to learn about choices regarding the spirit: Values Matter

Values Matter - Children are taught in school and at home about the importance of values and living them on a daily basis. Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship comprise this package. Monthly, if you choose, the system will automatically send you an email asking you to quickly give your child a rating in these 6 areas.

With a drop-down screen you will select a 1-Beginning, 3-On-track or 5-Great. You can then send this report to your child (your answers are not shown to them) they will rank themselves in the same format. You will receive a report showing a ‘gap’ between where you scored them and where they scored themselves. This gives you the ability to guide them to better habits and reward them for choices made each month. Teaching them MORAL CHARACTER!

Each week you will receive a report card on your child’s performance in the above key areas. Points and rewards are all built into the system and will automatically be sent to you for review and approval. We have created this to be a very quick and efficient way to track and reward behaviors, choices and accomplishments. Guiding your child to live a ‘balanced’ and ‘peaceful’ life is our joint goal and together we can achieve it...So welcome to healthyreportcard.com where learning is ever evolving and balance is but a ‘click’ away.
