Quote From: littlemissyjenwow I am simply AMAZED ! You do deserve a medal. To be able to teach them to do that much so young. Mine is almost 8 and getting him to clean his room is a pain. He does do it...but it's messy still. Although it's not near as bad as it used to be. He does earn an allowance for cleaning his room, helping with dishes, and laundry. I think it gives him incentive. If he does his chores, he gets 3 dollars a week. If not..he gets nothing. My sister has 3 kids 13, 10 and 4 1/2. She gives an allowance to the older two for doing dishes, mowing, thtat sort of thing BUT there are stipulations. If they do their chores THEY GET PAID if they waist time or don't do it at all, THEY PAY HER! Some may disagree with this technique but it gets the job done because they don't want to give up their allowance and they know if they don't do what they're told that is what will happen.
