General tips from me<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. We adults in the household used Cirkl by ourselves for a few weeks first to get a grip on the app. Highly recommended!<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. We then introduced the features we thought the children would like the most.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The children led the first Cirkl meeting. It turned into chaos, lots of chatty stories, spilled juice & many laughs. Today, we adults are responsible for the meeting with better structure, and the children get to choose what we will have for our snack.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. When we noticed that the children were ready for another function, we introduced it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. We also have an iPad in the kitchen that everyone can easily access. It’s perfect also when we cook and follow recipes in Cirkl.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Be patient. Give it time. Make sure the children have some fun with Cirkl, not just tasks to do.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Notes<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • \n

        Wish lists are created left and right by the children. Links, explanatory text, and images (then we adults created a checklist in Cirkl that was secret, for the children when it was time to shop).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        We have entered passwords for streaming services.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Recipes<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • The children have started to add their own recipes with their own photos. Really fun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            If something needs to be bought, it must be in Cirkl, otherwise it won’t be purchased.<\/p>\n

            <\/span><\/li>\n

          • \n

            The fact that you can now go into a recipe, press the 3 ‘dots’ in the top right corner & ‘scrape’ down what needs to be bought from the recipe to the shopping list is great.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Our eldest child wanted to bake, so she made her own shopping list and went shopping.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
