The short answer: pick a few chores that match their age, put them on a chart and decide up front whether any earn allowance. The chore chart by age covers toddler to teen and how to set up a chart that sticks.
- Allowance: chore chart and allowance tracker shows which chores earn money and a weekly payday routine; teaching kids about money compares allowance models.
- Younger kids: a sticker chart works for chores, potty training or routines.
- Whole household: the household chores list splits jobs by frequency and room.
