Read what users have to say about the difference the I Can Do It! planner has made in their home and to their children....
"Life Was Hard Til I Put The I Can Do It Game In Place..." "As a father sharing custody of my 9 year old daughter it is not easy getting routines in place when she comes to stay... I found it hard to get homework done, tidying her room etc or to get her to think about valves that I wanted her to learn and show in her actions... I was skeptical of the I Can Do It planner and what it promised - however it seemed to offer the solution I wanted for both me and my precious daughter. Within 3 weeks the changes occurred... setting up the planner provided good one-on-one discussion time... watching her cheerfully implement the goals / tasks / values we had set together at the beginning of the week was exciting - having more time to play and be a Dad with her is invaluable and to see the relationship between her and her Mum improve great - cause it has helped me to also be a better Dad and a better ex-husband... Life was hard til I put the I Can Do It planner in place. Thanks I Can Do It!" Name withheld Remuera, Auckland, New Zealand
“The I Can Do It System Really Works With Rewards…” “I found just watching the ‘linkage’ is really important. In the past our boys would have expected to have an ice-cream or a packet of Pringles….. they expected these to turn up when they wanted them. But linkage with the I Can Do It system really works with rewards. Immediately we saw that the boys pretty much knew it was at the end of something they had achieved or something had improved. I think that is a really important message for kids of this age, particularly for the age our boys are at. Just at an important time when they start to understand the values they should bear in mind. They are actually starting to create that linkage between ‘everything doesn't just turn up’ and ‘it's got to be found from somewhere’. I would say that is an important part of the success of the system." Steve Hollander – father of 2 boys under 10

“Where Do You Get All This Really Useful Stuff?!...” "Just wanted to say thank you. Where do you get all this really useful stuff?! I keep passing things on each time to my youngest and he's learning too. Great work. Cheers. " Robyn Pearce, New Zealand www.GettingAGripOnTime.com
“It's Certainly Made Life A Lot Less Argumentative On Some Days!” “I thought I would give you some feedback as we have started using I Can Do It! We have had a mixed response in terms of participation. We have 2 boys aged 11 and 12 years! The younger one Sam has gone for it and sees this as the only way he will get a phone before he is 13!! ...he is still doing about 100 points per day which is great!
The older one is not that interested to participate but am sure he will get into it more when his younger brother gets a phone before him! He is also naturally lazy and the best procrastinator in the world!
That's all for now. A big thank you for putting this together. It's certainly made life a lot less argumentative on some days!” Cheers Jane Wilson, Regional Manager + Mother of 2 Boys, Auckland
“They have minds of their own at 9 years old... We now get them out of the door to school without the usual yelling that would go on... that mothers do. We are now out the door with time to spare - which is fantastic! I found that just organising them, just giving them their cards and getting them going with the planner... all I can say now it was the best investment!
As far as the rewards go.... we've had lots of fun selecting them things to choose from and it really surprised me, the little things they really looked forward to without it being lots of money, lots of time, being expensive.
Just creating the time to all sit down together and talk about the rewards and things - so we really enjoy it and it is making a big difference to our family. Thank you.” Karen Hollander – mother of two boys under 10. Auckland
