Parents responsible for kid's money attitudes Parents take time for exercise Parent to Parent Author unknown January 25, 2000 Q. How can I get my children to save at least part of their allowances? We opened up a savings account and went in on a weekly basis to make a deposit. The children had books and got the amount electronically stamped each time a contribution was made. We also took the time to show them how much interest they could earn if they kept going up. -A.B., Fort Wayne, Ind. I have four children and have just started giving them an allowance for weekly jobs. The first few weeks, they spent all the money they received at one time. I decided to play "bank." I keep a running total of their money, adding each week's allowance to the grand total. When they want money, I have some control over what they spend it on. But I subtract it from their "account." They are less likely to spend it on incidentals when they have to ask for it. -P.R., Reading, Pa.

Try Searching Our Quick Answer Knowledge Base How should I teach my child to do chores? Begin by doing activities together and making the experience fun. Be sure to match the job to the ability of your child so that he or she can be successful. Also, choose chores that have meaning for children. Take time and patience in working with children until they learn a new chore. Even if you could do the chore much faster and better, give children the opportunity to learn. Children aren't born with the ability to do jobs quickly and efficiently. In the beginning it may take more time and work on your part to have children help you. If you send them out to play while you do all the chores, they don't learn to work-instead, they learn that they are not really needed. After you have worked together with children and feel they are ready to do a job alone, let them know you are available if they need help and fade into the background. Make sure children have kid-sized equipment for their work. Praise their efforts more for the contribution they are making than the quality of their work.

Search Engines Children and Chores Taking responsibility for chores is an important lesson that parents teach their children. Chores help children understand that living in a family involves work and that every member shares the responsibility and the benefits. Through chores, children become more responsible and self-reliant; chores build self-esteem. As their confidence blossoms with each new task mastered, children learn necessary life skills and the ability to prioritize, organize, and use time wisely. Play is the real work of young children. However, at about 12 months of age, 25% of children will imitate their parents as they do chores. Give your child a small broom, toy hammer or dust cloth so he can work with tools he sees you use. Initiate a family discussion Agree on acceptable standards and work quality.
