Comments Try separating the chores from the money.
Chores should be done by children because the children are part of the family and should contribute to the family's needs as much as they can. If they experience the consequences once or twice, they won't need reminding often. These tips I learned from John Rosemond, who has written a number of books on child rearing. Take a look at his books. I can't remember which book deals with the allowance and chores issues best.
