Ace for kids-Chores

Please implement chores for Ace.  It would be nice for kids to not only track and meet their exercise goals, but kids also love getting rewarded for the things they do, why not chores?

Totally agree, it would be great to keep kids accountable with their daily chores. Would love a far more interactive child friendly experience for them.

Chores is the kind of feature that determines whether you buy a fitbit or a garmin...

I was looking through some YouTube videos and articles about fitness trackers and kids health. I noticed in one of the videos it shows another brand of Fitness Tracker aimed at kids, where the parents could set up various chores and tasks and the kids recieve digital rewards and points.

 

Fitbit is already taking steps towards other aspects of health and I thought this might be not only a fun feature to add for the kids, but useful for parents as well. Why not take things another step forward fitbit?!

I have just purchased my son the FitBit Ace for 6+ year olds.  He chose this because we all have a Fitbit.  I'm disappointed though that you can't easily add chores etc to his Fitbit to do.  This is why many parents buy the Garmin but I didn't want him to be the 'norm'.  Please make this a feature ASAP.  Not sure why you wouldn't when it's aimed at kids!  Steps is important, but so to are chores or tasks.  Thanks

Adding kids chores to all kids watches instead of only activities.
Example : 5 open slot option for parents to add the name of the chore and they have to start , and track how long it takes to complete.
