Ugh. I hate this sort of thing. I don’t support systems that bribe kids to participate in what should simply be a part of family life. I don’t agree that screen time should be a reward. Kids should decide what is fun and valuable to them and then get time to do that just because. And finally, I don’t like that she hinges the reward on the child doing whatever she wants “now”. It shows a real lack of respect for whatever that child might be doing in that moment, as if it is less valuable that the adults time. In fact, I’m pretty sure that mom has at some point asked her kids to wait 5 minutes, so why couldn’t she?
