Chores and Allowance

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

As members of the family, we expect our kids to do chores and help out around the house; sometimes we even pay them for the jobs.  And once they earn their money, we expect them to manage it responsibly. But where do they learn that? And how do we guide them in that without making ourselves crazy?  Michelle has so many great resources, we decided to link them all here!  We have lots of fun extras up on our Patreon, check it out if you haven't already; we appreciate you all so much!!
