Top Parenting Tips: Design A Household Chore Chart
It can be disheartening to plead with your daughter or son repeatedly to perform their chores around the home without them ever being completed.
If this characterizes your home, think about producing a chores chart. The household chores might cover loading and emptying the dishwasher,cleaning their bedroom,taking out the garbage or some yard work. Each task has to be completed just once or twice a week. Expecting any more is simply not realistic. After your daughter or son finishes each task, they can put a check mark on the chores chart. At the end of each week, it’s encouraging for both child and parent to view the chores chart and quickly and easily see that each specified chore was completed. Just like an adult’s ‘to do’ lists, your daughter or son will find great satisfaction in being able to check off each chore as it’s finished and gain a sense of pride knowing they completed a set chore or list of chores.
Once you’ve sat down with your daughter or son and discussed and designed a chores chart, you need to agree a suitable reward for the completion of each chore.
Perhaps at your house you decide you will give a fixed sum for each job accomplished. If you choose to grant your daughter or son some form offinancial payment, make sure it’s appropriate to your child’s age and given on a regular basis. A good rule of thumb is 50 cents per year of age. So an 8 year old child would earn $4.00 per week if each task on the chart has been finished. If it has not been, they do not receive any payment.
This is a good chance for you to teach your children the merit of both earning and saving money, and also giving back. For example your daughter or son could divide their allowance into five: 2/5 to spend, 2/5 to save and 1/5 to help those less fortunate than themselves.
Should you choose to utilize non-monetary enticements as chores payment, you lay down clear framework for your daughter or son. Make sure they comprehend that three hours each weekend playing their favorite video gamesor going to the movies with dad and mom is only earned by completing the task list successfully each week. You might want to think about writing these on a slip of paper as ‘currency’ for the child to keep in their reward ‘bank’ and they can cash one in with you when they’d like.
Regardless of the incentive payment method you agree on, bear in mind this can be a highly beneficial tool for both you and your child.

First, get a job and decide what is the maximum amount of $ you can save per month. Let's say $500. Go to bank to open a saving account and tell the bank that you want to auto-debit / auto-transfer part of your salary money (i.e. $500) to that saving account every month. You should not withdraw any money from this saving. So 2 months, you will have $1K and 1 year, you will have $6k (depends on what much you really want to save per month). This is the best method of saving money and it is called "Pay [...]
