What's a good age to start giving an allowance? What's a good system to use? How much is a good amount for a young child?
My daughter is only 4 but getting her to pick up after herself is impossible. She definately loves getting money, so I thought maybe I could start some sort of a system and give her a little every week if she does what she's supposed to.
I know she's young, but I feel that it could help. I just don't know how to go about making it educational, fair, and fun. Also, if she does some, but not all of her chores for the week, how do I come to a decision on what to give her?
My mom had a game called "twenties" - pick up twenty things and put them away. Simple, but it worked. Works on counting too!
I also do this in my classroom, but I pick other numbers. No 'free time' or lining up for gym or whatever until everyone picks up 5 things or whatever number I choose.
