I really like the two timers and already do something similar (we have a timer that goes off when it's time to finish breakfast or stop playing, then our Google Home speaker says when it's time to leave a few minutes later, but I'm often still trying to get my son to come over and put his shoes on when Google announces that it's time to leave. I like this points idea so there is more motivation for him to be ready before Google goes off. What do you do with the points they earn? How else do they earn points?
I like to use the points for special time or experience with someone instead of a "thing". It could be as simple as getting to pick the book at bedtime, an extra 15 minutes of block building time with dad, or going on a walk just mom and the child (instead of bringing the other two siblings with).
