Brilliant idea. What ever works

If that’s what works for them then so be it.

This is great. But i don’t think i will do this.

I think this is a fantastic idea, but I just don’t know I would be able to stick with it.

I love this as an idea. We can want our kids to do chores unselfishly, but the reality is, it doesn’t happen. And this does not depend on how good a parent you are. We used to have a chart on the fridge, but I love this idea more.

I think this is a great idea. I used to do a list or chores to be done and paid them weekly. They always knew how much they had earned and kept count themselves. One job they were never paid for was cleaning their rooms. That was their private domain and their responsibility. If I had to clean it then they lost all the money they had earned through the week. Worked for us

I have a list with money amount and after inspection if happy I tick it off and they get paid at the end of the week, like they would if at work

One of my friends does this. The kids get paid their pocket money by doing chores. The more they do, the more money they earn. Her kids are between 15 and 10yr old. She hardly does any homework herself anymore.
Although it sounds good, I like to teach that helping and doing chores is normal part of life. I expect them to help without getting paid for it.

My son is much younger and we use a sticker rewards system. He gets a sticker when he does something good or a chore that we have asked him to do. When he gets 10 stickers he can choose from a selection of prizes that we have sitting on top of the fridge.

I love this, they can see the reward visually as well. Great incentive

I have mixed feelings, I think it is a good idea, but as long as they also know that they should be helping out without money it works to teach them to contribute to the household, unfortunately does not work for teenagers, not even money can get them to clean their room let alone do chores without a complaint.

Great idea!

I LOVE this idea and am totally using it.
It teaches children “value” (task and relative amount of pocket money), addition and saving. Sharing this with my friends!

Haha my daughter would just take the money and go or she she probably wouldn’t even care about the money and wouldn’t do the job

I’m still yet to find a chart that encourages my children, they will do things when asked, and there morning routine

I found nothing worked long term for my kids. I ended up stopping asking them to do chores and I also stopped tge pocket money

This is an excellent idea. I have struggled finding ways to get the kids to do chores but I know this one will solve the problem. If they can actually see the money – they will want it 🙂

I love how this chore board is a great visual for the kids. We recently started a chore chart but it does not have the same visual stimulation as they have to see a whole week through before seeing the rewards! I will be changing to this idea!

This is a good idea, but I also like the idea of teaching children that they are part of a family unit as should pitch in and do their share for the family’s sake.

  I agree with your comments.

Clever and a fun incentive too – I would work for this pocket money!
