What is myFirst Circle Habit Trainer?
Circle Habit Trainer helps children build positive habits through scheduled reminders, smart location-based triggers, and rewards. Using gamification features such as Carrots (virtual rewards), it encourages children to develop consistency, responsibility, and independence in their daily routines.
How does Circle Habit Trainer work?
Parents create habits for their children and set schedules or location-based triggers. Children receive reminders when it's time to complete a habit.
