[quote=Anonymous]I had a similar epiphany a few weeks ago regarding my 7 and 5 y/os. Not everyone would agree with this but I made chore charts for each of them and explained the concept of allowance and have been SHOCKED by how much this motivated them. Like I haven't had to nag at all. Am I thrilled at paying them for things that I think they should just do as family members? No, but it's working and my hope is that the chores (making bed everyday, putting school water bottles in the dishwasher, etc.) will become second nature. If so, it's money well spent.[/quote]
