## Guide steps

- ### Invite grandparents to the family

Add grandparents' email in family settings. They'll receive a confirmation email and access to daily reports with grandchildren's progress.
- ### Grandparents add prizes with their name

Grandma can set: "Read 7 days in a row = $5 from grandma." The child sees who the prize comes from. The connection becomes concrete.
- ### Daily report arrives automatically

Grandparents receive an evening email with what the child checked off: completed activities, streaks, earned prizes. No calls needed, no asking.
- ### The child feels seen

When the child sees "prize from grandma" or "prize from godparent," motivation shifts. It's not just routine - it's a bond with people who matter.

## Benefits

### Connection without distance

Grandparents are part of the child's routine even if they're hundreds of miles away. Their prize appears in the list, the report arrives by email.

### Personalized motivation

A prize from grandma carries different weight than a generic reward. The child makes effort for a specific person, not a system.

### Zero technical effort

Grandparents don't need to install anything. They receive email, see progress. If they want, they add prizes through the simple interface.
