When to use this article

Use this walkthrough to mark tasks as completed from the adult login or from the child's individual login.

Complete tasks and mark as done

In ParensUP, tasks can be marked as completed by the adult/guardian or by the child, if their individual login is activated. When parental approval is on, tasks completed by the child need to be approved by the guardian before being counted.

Part 1

Mark a task from the adult login

Sign in to your guardian account

On your phone, open the ParensUP app and sign in with your adult/guardian login.

Select the child

At the top of the screen, tap the child's name.

The app will open a profile selector. If there's more than one child in the family, pick the desired child.

Go to the "Tasks" tab

On the app's bottom bar, tap Tasks.

Mark the task as done

You can complete the task in two ways:

Choose one of the options below

From the task checkbox

Tap the checkbox of the task to mark it as done.

From the details screen

Tap the task to open its details. Below the main information, tap [Mark as completed].

Part 2

Mark a task from the child's login

The child can also mark tasks from their own access, as long as their individual login is activated.

Open the child's login

On the child's phone or device, open the ParensUP app and sign in with the access code and password set by the guardian.

Go to the "Tasks" tab

On the app's bottom bar, tap Tasks.

Mark the task as completed

Tap the task checkbox to mark it as done.

If parental approval is not active, the task is marked as done automatically. If parental approval is active (Premium feature), the task waits for the guardian's approval before being counted.

Option 1

Approve a task from the notification

When parental approval is active and the child completes a task, the guardian can approve or reject from the notification.

Open notifications

From the adult/guardian login, open the Notifications area.

Find the request

Look for the notification of the task sent for approval.

Open the request

Tap the notification to see the details.

Approve or reject

Choose one of the options:

Approve — The task will be counted.
Reject — The task will not be counted as completed.

Option 2

Approve a task from the Tasks tab

You can also review pending tasks directly in the Tasks tab.

Open the "Tasks" tab

From the adult/guardian login, tap Tasks.

Find the pending task

The task waiting for approval shows up with a clock-shaped check, in yellow or orange.

Open the task's details

Tap the task to open the details.

Important: tap the task, not the clock icon.

Approve or reject

Below the task's main information, tap:

Approve
Reject

All set! The task has been updated. After approval, the task counts as completed in the child's routine. If rejected, it won't be counted as done.

💡 Tips

The child can only mark tasks from their own access if the individual login is activated.
If parental approval is active, the task completed by the child is not counted immediately — it waits for the guardian's decision.
