[quote=Anonymous]just a question. why some say that allowance should not be linked to chores? I am starting with this allowance thing, and I was planning to link it to the chores they need to do, like a sort of salary. why this should not be done? I was planning to have basic chores they need to do anyway (make their beds, cleaning table and so on) and elective chores they can do to make more money (kids are 4.5 and 8). I also started telling them that they will be "charged" when they ruin something (not always, only when I tell them not to do something a million times and they do it and ruin something, then I started telling them that they need to pay for the repair/purchase of new item - so far just telling them they need to pay for it has been sufficient to make them more careful with things)[/quote]
