[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not tie allowance to chores. You do chores because you're a member of the family and everyone contributes. You get allowance to learn how to handle money responsibly. [/quote] I do this with my younger kids too. The five year old is responsible for feeding cats and giving them fresh water, picking up the toys in her room, folding towels, and setting and clearing the table. The two year old is responsible for picking up any clothes on the bathroom floor after showers/baths. Both put away their clean laundry and help load and unload the dishwasher. They get a weekly allowance equal to their age (one dollar/year) and divide between saving, spending, and giving. [/quote]
