[quote=Anonymous] I think it's damaging to pay kids for things they should be doing anyway, which is their best effort for chores and academics. Know your child, their potential and reward the effort. It takes a lot more socio-emotional acuity on a parent's part to recognize an individual child's effort rather than lazily reward visible achievement. Visible achievement should be its own reward. It's the work ethic you want to foster. It's also not fair, in a sibling group with different abilities, to tacitly compare them by reward achievement. That being said, my MIL used to give money to her all her grandkids for good grades. I didn't say anything, since it made her happy, but I would never do this myself. She's from a different era, and also was a war refugee, so I understand she has a different relationship with money. [/quote]
