The short answer: set up kids routines in three places: chores and allowance at home, a plan for the school year, and low-cost activities for breaks. The chore chart by age is the easiest place to start.
- At home: chore chart by age and teaching kids about money (allowance models and save-spend-give jars).
- School: the back to school checklist and school lunch ideas; more on the school hub.
- Breaks and rainy days: winter break schedule for kids, Christmas crafts and riddles for kids.
