Do you often do chores in the house After you finish your chores, will your parents give reward ( 奖励) It is common for parents to reward their kids for doing chores. But some people do not think it is a good idea.
One of them is Susie Walton, an educator. She believes if kids get rewards, they will always think doing chores is not their duty (义务). Kids won’t sweep the floor when they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it. Since every family is a team, it’s important for kids to see that everyone should do their part in keeping the house clean and tidy.
Other people don’t think so. They believe that rewards can encourage ( 鼓励) kids to do more chores. Rewards can also teach them real world lessons, like how they need to work to make money. Now, there are also apps like ChoreMonster to encourage kids to do chores. With the app, kids earn digital (电子的) point after doing chores. Then they can exchange ( 交换) their points for real rewards, such as time playing video games or a trip to a park. “Kids need rewards to make them do chores” said Chris Bergman, who started ChoreMonster.
