Do you like doing chores? Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed and folding the clothes. In exchange(交换), they may get some money or 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(奖励)for doing housework Susie Walton, an expert believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth(值得)doing unless you get something in return. "Doing 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 all families need to make decisions about 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 on their own, and that it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. Some groups invented an app that records kids' points and these points can be used to redeem(兑现)some gifs either online or in the real world. "Our goal is to help kids do their par and then they can get rewards," says Chris Bergman. "And kids need rewards to help encourage them."
