I like the site. :-) It looks professional, works smoothly, and has everything I`d want to know. So it comes down to being picky.

One thing I`d like to see on the main page would be an "Ages # - #" heading, perhaps right up there at the top. Yes, the word "kids" and the photo tend to imply that it`s for young kids. But how young?

I remember my daughter was willing to accept certain motivators of certain types, always changing depending on her age.

Another thing that bothered me was the Flash! demo. I clicked it, using a DSL line (Firefox 1.x), to watch the "How it works." The changes were so slow I finally just lost interest and clicked away.

Either speed up the movie to something approaching standard video, or convert it to a slide show, where users can push a "next" button.

Visual demos are totally different from written words, where a person`s reading speed matters. Everyone can see, grasp an image, and read a heading in about 1 second. So how come it`s so slow? I don`t mean loading...that was fine. I mean it paused way too long between frame changes.

Other than that, you could probably put some sort of "white paper" area, maybe call it "Resources" or something on a tab. It`d offer some research by psychologists as to the quantifiable benefits of using appreciation methods and incentives in raising children.

Nice site though. :-)

Thanks Girl!

Are you a parent or have friends that are parents? Tell them about The Appreciation Station... the most innovative system to help parents be the best they can be through positive discipline. When you notice what`s right as opposed to what`s wrong, you begin to see dramatic results in your household.

I agree about the price ... I would probably pay around $50 but not around $100 ... especially since I could make a similar concept at home for $10. (Minus the slot machine action ... but does a 3yo notice a slot machine?)

I do love the concept though, and it would be awesome for potty training or the dentist`s office.

The DQ coupons and JC Penney stuff is not a greater incentive ... I`d never use those.
