Chore Chart
The kids have been wanting to earn some money, so I devised a little chore chart with pay. Each week the children can pick age appropriate chores, not to exceed $5.00. They still will be required to do their normal morning chores (which we do not pay for). We feel it's important to teach the children to contribute to the househiold (without pay), but we also want to teach them how to manage their money. But how can they manage their money effectively when they rarely have a chance to earn it? We think this will be a happy balance.
If the children do not complete their "to-do" tasks, it's no big deal. There will be no yelling or reminding. They just won't get paid. Pretty simple.
Chores range from giving the dogs a bath to mopping the floors. Payment ranges from $0.25 to $3.00, depending on the skill level and time needed for a task.

This was a cooporative effort with Howard and I. I started it, and he finished. Team work, that's what's it's all about.
