GrowWall User guide

Your missions, your progress, your rewards.

This official guide explains practical GrowWall workflows for families. Start with one visible win, show proof clearly, let rewards support agency, and use review status to build trust instead of friction.

Demo data notice: All names, profiles, tasks, rewards, wallet balances, proof images, screenshots, and workflows in this guide are mocked for product education. None of these examples represents a real child, household, account, or production record.

Child One member wall with robotics, proof, handbook, bounty, wallet, and task areas
Make effort visible.
Use notes, proof, AI feedback, history, XP, GP, Diamonds, streaks, and badges to show progress over time.
Reward agency, not pressure.
Use bounties and the shop to help kids choose meaningful goals and make fair family deals.
Review calmly.
Review should feel like coaching: celebrate strong work, ask for changes kindly, and name a specific next step.

Start With the Member Walkthrough

Watch the walkthrough first for the big picture, then use the sections below for step-by-step guidance on any specific feature.

Start With This Path

Recommended onboarding path
  1. Open the homepage.
    Use the homepage as the calm read-only family view. Everyone can see today without logging in.
  2. Complete one short, specific mission.
    Start with something like Robotics Build Log — short, concrete, and easy to show proof for.
  3. Show a task that needs photo proof.
    Photo Proof Writing Reflection uses mocked handwritten report photos to demonstrate upload, gallery review, AI feedback, and awaiting approval in one place.
  4. Visit bounties and the shop.
    This is where GrowWall becomes motivating: kids can earn by initiative and save toward rewards they care about.
  5. Check history and profile.
    Use earned XP, GP, proof photos, badges, and streaks to see how effort is turning into growth.
Best practice

One complete story beats showing every feature at once

GrowWall clicks when you follow one workflow start to finish: pick a mission, complete it, upload proof, submit, get approved, earn the reward, then redeem or save.

In the first week, focus on: completing one task, uploading proof, seeing review status, and earning a first reward.

Example Members in This Guide

The examples below use mocked names and tasks, but they show realistic family workflows so you can see how GrowWall works in practice.

STEM builder

Robotics and careful corrections

This story shows a member who likes building, testing, and improving. The guide uses short tasks that create a visible record instead of vague pressure.

Core Usage Demos

Home

Use the homepage as the shared family wall

The homepage is the calm read-only view for the room or iPad Web Clip. It shows what is active today without asking anyone to sign in first.

GlanceCheck who has active routines, ad hoc tasks, and milestone steps today.
DiscussUse the wall as a family check-in surface, not a place to edit rewards or approvals.
ActSwitch to member mode only when someone needs to complete work, add proof, or redeem a reward.
Member Login

Start a short operation session

Member mode is for doing work. A member chooses their profile, enters their PIN, completes the action, then returns the shared device to the homepage.

Choose profileSelect the member who is completing work or checking rewards.
Enter PINUse a short session for the operation, then avoid leaving a shared iPad signed in.
ReturnAfter the task, reward, or history check is done, go back to the homepage.
Milestones

Break a bigger goal into visible steps

Milestones are for goals that need more than one sitting: a robotics build, reading goal, sports challenge, family outing plan, or LetFlow website page.

Step workFinish one milestone step at a time and add proof or notes when useful.
Final resultSubmit the final outcome only when the whole goal is ready for review.
RewardUse adjusted rewards to recognize quality, persistence, and real completion.
Review Status

Read status as guidance, not judgment

Status labels help members know what to do next. They should make the workflow calmer: finish, submit, improve if needed, and celebrate once approved.

Submitted Awaiting Approval Needs Changes Done Rewarded
A good review loop gives one clear next action. If work needs changes, explain what to improve and let the member resubmit.

Member Guide

Mission board

Pick your next mission

Scan your wall from left to right: wallet, tabs, daily routine, tasks, milestones, and bounties. Start with something short and specific.

  • STEM example: Robotics Build Log — write what changed, record one test result, choose the next experiment.
  • Sports example: Football Footwork Practice — do two drills and name one improvement.
Pick tasks you can actually show: "record one test result" or "practice one rebuttal." Clear actions earn clear rewards.

Task completion

Mark work done, then wait for review when needed

Some tasks complete right away. Others become Awaiting Approval — that means your work is on the parent's list. That's progress, not failure.

Photo Proof

Make evidence clear before submitting

For proof-based work, upload clear handwritten homework or report photos, remove mistakes, reorder the best image first, and enlarge photos to check readability before review.

AI Feedback

Generate coaching after proof is ready

AI feedback is a separate review step. Use it after uploading readable proof photos, review the structured score, summary, strengths, fixes, and next step, improve the work if needed, then submit for review.

Animated AI Feedback flow showing handwritten proof photo, structured feedback generation, and scrolled feedback details
AI Coach

Ask for help before giving up

Mia, GrowWall's AI coach, is best used for the next step, such as improving a paragraph, choosing a robotics test, or breaking a task into smaller actions.

  • Ask "What is one clearer sentence I can write?" instead of "Do it for me."
  • Ask "What should I test next on the robot?" after recording one result.
  • Ask "How can I make my rebuttal kinder and stronger?" before practice.
A good Mia question gives you a clear next step — not just an answer to copy.

History

Use history as the growth record

History is where a member sees wallet changes, proof galleries, completed work, bounties, and AI coach questions. Treat it as accumulated evidence of effort, not as a public report card.

  • Use the photo gallery to revisit realistic proof examples such as robotics drive-train photos, math correction cards, football footwork clips, and debate rebuttal notes.
  • Use wallet rows to connect effort with outcomes: approved robotics work, math correction review, a debate-timer bounty, a family-drive playlist redemption, and saved Diamonds for a monthly goal.

Profile

Let identity carry motivation

The Today welcome gives members a calm starting point: recent achievements, priorities, heatmap, and streak context. Profile then turns invisible consistency into levels, streaks, badges, avatar growth, and a recent XP sparkline. Celebrate patterns more than single spikes.

Bounties and Shop

Bounties

Teach initiative with fair deals

Bounties are extra missions or family agreements. They work well when the reward is proportional and the action helps someone else.

  • STEM example: Sort the robotics cables for 45 GP plus more trusted build time.
  • Sports/debate example: Be the debate timer and give one kind, clear note.
  • Family rhythm example: Invite everyone for a short walk after dinner.

Shop

Make rewards attractive and family-safe

The shop should include quick wins, identity rewards, family-choice rewards, and rare Diamond goals. The point is self-directed growth, not buying obedience.

  • Quick wins: 20 Min Free Choice Break, Family Drive Playlist, Reading Nook Pass.
  • Identity rewards: Robotics Lab Hour, Choose the Football Drill, Host Debate Snack Night.
  • Aspirational rewards: Robotics Parts Kit, Sports Gear Upgrade, Weekend Learning Outing.

Keep GP rewards mostly about time, choice, and family attention. Keep Diamond rewards rare, planned, and tied to real-world cost.

iPad endpoint

Web Clip usage

  1. Use the homepage as the always-on read-only display.
  2. Use member mode when a member needs to complete work or redeem rewards.
  3. Refresh if a Web Clip appears stale after deployment.
  4. Return to the homepage when the device is shared.
Parent as member

Model growth in ordinary routines

  1. Use GrowWall for visible adult routines: morning jog, table tennis, reading, garden care, or a short reflection.
  2. Complete work through the same member flow: choose one action, add notes or proof when useful, and let progress build over time.
  3. Pick goals that make growth concrete: finish one book, build a LetFlow personal website page, or plan a happier weekend rhythm.
  4. Keep the tone humble and visible. The message is that everyone is growing, not that adults are only watching.

GrowWall works best when rewards follow growth: effort first, proof second, review third, reward fourth. The system should make the family calmer, not busier.

Troubleshooting

Forgot PIN or password

Ask an adult at home for help signing in again.

Session timed out

Member sessions expire after a period of inactivity. Return to the homepage and log in again.

Task is locked

Some tasks lock after a deadline. Ask an adult at home if there is a good reason to reopen it.

Not enough GP or Diamonds

The shop disables unavailable redemptions. Keep earning, choose a smaller reward, or suggest a new one.

AI is unavailable

Use notes and proof first. Core completion and review still work without AI.

Web Clip looks stale

Refresh the page, confirm the Web Clip opens the correct GrowWall screen, and check that the icon/profile points to the latest deployment.

Privacy Notes

Demo data only

This manual uses mock members, mock tasks, generated visuals, and demo workflows. It does not include real household records, real emails, tokens, or production proof photos.

Public help, private operations

This help page can be public because it teaches the product. Member work, wallet history, proof, review actions, and account controls remain behind sign-in.
