We decided since Hayden was starting Kindergarten that it was time to give him some chores. We were not sure if we should give an allowance or a reward for doing chores. After some discussions we decided that chores are part of living in the house and daily responsibilities that needed to be done. Hence no allowance for chores. But we did decide to add a Reward side to the chore chart. He is rewarded for good behavior, manners, listening the first time, and helping out above and beyond. On his reward chart he has 3 levels, first bronze star, second silver star and last the gold star. When he gets enough stickers for a star he picks from a set of cards that has rewards. Some are stay up 20 mins past bedtime, pizza night, movie night, night out with mom or dad, no chores for the day etc. This system has seem to work really well so far. We are about a month into it, and Hayden now wakes up every morning making his bed, getting dressed and feeding Parker. He is so proud of himself. I am still amazed every day how big he is. I just hope and pray he will be a wonderful man when he gets older.
P.S. There is a potty chart for Ava attached. She had to put stickers somewhere.
These are the chores
