Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes,making the bed and folding the
clothes.In exchange,they get some money or other computer time.
Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics,especially at a time
when everyone is more careful about money.Some parents think since adults are paid
to do their jobs,we should pay kids for everyday housework.
But some people don’t think kids should get rewards(报酬)for doing housework.
Susie Walton,an expert,believes that by rewarding kids,parents are sending a message
that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return.“Running any kind
of housework is a team effort,” Walton said.“A home is a living space for everyone
in the family.It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in
the house,and families decide how they want their home to look,and how they are going
to keep it looking like what they want.”
Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework,and
it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money.There
are also apps that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑
现)either online or in the real world.“Our goal is to give kids lawful power so
they can get rewards,” said Chris Bergman.“And kids need rewards to help encourage
them.”
