Allowances and Chores - When, How Much and To Chart or Not To Chart - EPISODE 24

October 02, 2018

We are talking Allowances, Chores, Charts and all the details on this episode...But first, Sarah shares a shame spiral about bad parenting on a first grade field trip.  Then we dig into all things allowance - when to start, whether to tie it to chores, and what dollar amount is age appropriate.  Whether your kids are paid for chores or expected to contribute, we talk about what chores are age appropriate and how we feel about chore charts, with a swerve into how we both navigate laundry and into Sarah's extreme Font Sensitivity (can this be a real thing?).  We talk about the Spend / Save / Share outline, how (and if) to enforce it, and talk about some new apps and devices that help parent's and kids out in the age of digital money and online shopping.
