Rewarding children for doing household chores: WEEK 212
Hello my beautiful people of #ExperienciasFinDeSemana I hope you have a rich weekend today I will write to you about the initiative created by @galenkp of the following topic: Should children be rewarded financially for doing chores and daily chores around the house? Talk about this and tell us what happened in your case when you were a child.
This is an issue that divides opinions of many parents and is that everyone raises their child as they see fit, but in my opinion in no way give him reward for doing everyday things at home because they would get used to an undue remuneration children by their very nature generate garbage and disorder as any adult is our duties as parents instill the culture of order and cleanliness and there are parents who think that children should not do anything at home but study, but as they grow we must delegate responsibilities.
I even have an aunt who raised her two daughters in this way and she used to say that they are princesses, They don't have to do anything but study, practically the house was like a hotel for them, they didn't help in anything and my aunt at that time the economic situation of the country was good and she allowed it and she used to hire a lady to help her with the cleaning of the house to do the housework because she was working all the time and that's how the years went by and she realized everything and regretted how she had raised her daughters when they were grown up, one was 17 and the other 18 years old, they didn't even wash the plate where they ate, much less learn to cook, they were totally dependent on my aunt.
We are all creatures of habit, how you teach your children is what they will learn everything we teach them, But if we do not teach them anything or delegate responsibility we do not expect that by magic the children will help us and sometimes as parents we believe that we do good to our children and what we do is to underestimate them and by doing this we limit them and do not develop their true capabilities and then consider that we have to pay our children to order and clean or to do something in the environment where they live is to distort the normal to promote that by paying everything is achieved in the coexistence.
Once a month between my son's father and I give an allowance to my son Mathias so that he can save and buy whatever he likes, but not for doing things at home, not to instill a sense of responsibility and contribute to keep clean where he lives, but because I love him and he is my son and I was also a child and when he is a child he wants to buy everything, that's why we give it to him, but in my opinion if we reward our son only for doing things at home the day you do not give him anything he will feel cheated and with this way of rewarding him every time he does something at home it builds more materialistic children.
I think it all depends on the age of the children can be taught the value of the things of work if it was like me and my brothers raised us we had certain responsibilities at home like keeping the bed made and my room tidy and clean wash the dishes sweep the house when I had free were tares that since my 10 years collaborates because I am part of the family and had to do my bit to maintain order and I have always liked the cleaning so my greatest satisfaction was to see the house tidy.

I think the same, children should not be rewarded for doing a task. It is better to teach that as a team things are better and as a family we must all help. From the smallest to the largest. Surely this will be a great learning experience for when they sign their family.
It's like this Lizbeth, it's better to teach them responsibility from an early age, delegate them small responsibilities according to their age, that's making children independent because if every time they make a mess we have to fix everything, they grow up without respect for the things that others do.
I agree that we should not reward a child's “obligations”, but a word of encouragement is necessary (wow, it turned out very nice; well done...). And even so, if the work was not entirely effective, a word of consolation is important. I remember when I was a child, I would sweep the house and when mom came home, she would notice that I left dust in a certain place or didn't put an object in her place and that's why she scolded me. You can do 99 things well, but you do just one thing wrong, and you focus on 1 instead of the 99...
