Why use rewards for chores

I know there is a bit of controversy over offering rewards for chores that are “expected.” However, I believe that whether you are a kid or a full-grown adult, rewards are great motivational tools to help get things done.

Rewards do not have to be expensive material items or grand ideas. Ultimately, the gesture of the reward is recognition. Even if everyone in the family is expected to help out with household chores, it’s good to always acknowledge each person’s effort.

You can definitely brainstorm different types of rewards and throw in a few bigger celebratory items every once in a while. Also, consider rewarding quality time or events that you were planning on anyway. It’s simply a reminder that chores must be done before we go on to have fun.

I believe that especially with children, positive parenting in reinforcing good behavior is a good thing. We want to teach them responsibility and help them develop the habits of taking care of the house and daily living tasks. Once it becomes a habit, you might not have to reward them anymore!
