Providing a small allowance
for certain chores can be a good way to begin teaching your child how to save and how to spend money wisely.
These skills can affect a child's ability to write neatly, dress appropriately, and
perform certain chores, such as making beds or doing dishes.
If you
set certain chores for your kids and the chores are not completed, you could choose to not pay pocket money for those jobs or pay them less.
When accomplished, these behavior goals — like the accomplishment
of certain chores or the ability to go with the family on an outing or errands — will benefit both child and family.
I'm also thinking of adding in a requirement for him to do
certain chores before he can play any video type games to give him incentive to do the chores first without me nagging: --RRB-
Sometimes rewards were directly related to
completing certain chores (as a paycheck is directly related to doing our job), and sometimes chores were simply part of being a member of the family.
We have
certain chores that have to be done when we get home from school, and they must be completed before Mom comes home.
For example, specify when your tween should have
certain chores or responsibilities finished, such as when homework is to be completed, or when your tween should begin setting the table for dinner.
Because you are a team, and think of yourselves as such, then neither of you will resent the other for having to
a certain chore because you know your partner is taking care of something else that you in turn won't have to do.
