Description:

In this course, Melissa “HR Mom” Griffin outlines an easy-to-follow strategy for incorporating a digital assistant into your family routines. The class is chock-full of practical ways to use Alexa to simplify your life and lighten your mental load.


Through short video demos, screenshots, and printable step-by-step guides, HR Mom takes the guess work out of choosing a digital assistant, setting it up, and deciding how to best use its most popular features.


She invited an industry expert to address privacy and parental controls, and even shares ways neuro-divergent adults and kids can use Alexa to improve executive function and create new habits.


What you'll learn:

  • The difference between each of the Alexa devices (size, features, price, etc.)

  • Ways to introduce a digital assistant to increase cooperation and buy-in

  • How each feature can simplify your life (Reminders, Lists, Timers, Routines, etc.)

  • How Alexa can improve executive function (with tips for neurodivergent adults and children)

  • Which privacy settings and parental controls will help reduce risks

  • Ways to program features, using live demos and written cheat sheets

  • How automating lights, music, and sounds can manage anxiety and sensory sensitivites

Wait, will Alexa help my kids do chores?

While Alexa can be an incredible tool for remembering and staying on task when completing chores, it won't help change the family culture around sharing household responsibilities. Getting children and/or partners on board with doing their part takes a more strategic and intentional approach.


That's why this course is the perfect companion to HR Mom's best-selling "Family Chores RESET" course. In it, she offers a flexible approach to creating a chores system that is sustainable for all different families in all different seasons. She emphasizes treating children with respect and empowering them to help create and take ownership of their roles in the family.
