Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes,making the bed,and folding the clothes.In exchange,they get some money or other computer time.
Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics,especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money.Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs,we should pay kids for everyday housework.
But some people don’t think kids should get rewards(报酬)for doing housework.Susie Walton,an expert,believes that by rewarding kids,parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return.“Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton says.“A home is a living space for everyone in the family.It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house,and family decide how they want their home to look,and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”
Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework,and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money.There are also apps(程序)that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现)either online or in the real world.“Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman.“And kids need rewards to help encourage them.”
