already be doing. Parents do a lot for their kids, kids can give a little something back once in awhile for all their parents do for them. Unloading and loading the dishwasher, mowing grass, washing and drying dishes, doing laundry, and cleaning your room, are all things kids are known to do without pay. Work around the house is easy enough to where kids should not be getting paid.
Some families will reward their kids with items they want. If a kid unloaded a dishwasher, the parents would consider buying him a book he wanted from the book fair. It is fine to put money towards an item they want if they work for it. Kids should have to earn their money in life. Life is not easy, and nothing gets handed to you. Parents who give money to their kids for easy chores are the kids that are going to expect money to come easier in life.
At a young age why should kids have to go through being financially responsible. In high school there is this class called financial math that is supposed to help kids learn how to deal with their money and stay financially stable. As kids grow up, yes, they should deal with their own money but before high school kids should not have to worry about being financially responsible. If the kid wants to make money he can quit sports or not take school as serious, but if the parent wants them to play sports and care about their grades then they should try hard to keep all three jobs stable.
Kids can find out how to become financially responsible later in life. Not everything is handed to you in life, sometimes kids need to learn on their own, and they need to learn how to do chores without pay. Whether you are a well-behaved child or not kids should not be getting paid for doing simple around the house chores. Chores should always be expected out of kids they should never have to be asked to do them. Every once in awhile kids can be treated with candy or an item they want but they should not get paid.
