Should parents pay kids to do chores?
This helps kids know that how hard it is to make money. They also get to know the real value (价值) of money. For example, I give my daughter Susan $1 each time for doing the dishes or cleaning the living room. She saves the money and spends it on her favorite books. (Catherine)
Rewards (奖励) are always helpful in developing good habits. (4)为孩子们提供一些奖励是重要的. It could be money, something fun on the weekend or just words like “Nice work on the dishes!” (Mandy)
What’s going to be their motivation (动机) to keep the rooms clean when children move out to live alone? I drive to my children’s flat once a week and give them $20 if they do well. They need to learn that the only real reward for doing chores is having a clean home. (Judy)
(5)Doing chores without getting paid teaches kids the true meaning of hard work. My son always helps sweep the floor without getting paid. In my opinion, if you pay kids to do chores, they might stop helping unless they’re being paid. Also, kids might start asking for more money to do simple chores. Is this really what you want? (Bella)
