It is necessary for children to learn how to perform house chores but is it necessary to reward them financially anything they do them?

It is not that necessary that a child must receive financial rewards after performing a house hold chores but then a child should be appreciated for doing a very neat and tidy work.

By appreciation, it doesn't really require financial rewards but some kind of praise or any means of showing gratitude though not all the time.

By simply telling a child that he or she has done a good job, you have not just made that child happy but you've given the child more reasons to do better next time.

It is strictly not expected for a parents to reward a child financially for every house hold chores And i also don't think that any child would expect such from their parents considering the struggles they go through to train us under rain or sun and even in poor health.

There are reasons we some not reward a child financially:

• The child we feel entitled and won't be willing to help out in chores without being paid , some children will go as far as negotiating price before helping out.

• It will affect the child's social life:
  The child won't be able to help anyone even at death point without negotiating for money and no one would also help the child without negotiating for money.

Though rewarding a child Financially has little advantage but the disadvantages are greater than the advantages,
A child should only be appreciated for doing a nice job or something extra ordinary.

I once lived with my aunt who never cared to appreciate my work but always punish me for any work not properly done,
Though it helped me and made me perfect but I was just doing the work for working sake but the husband is a total different person though he never appreciated me financially but he was alway showing gratitude for every little work.

He would always tell me that I've done well and sometimes he will say "thank you".
Many times after cooking for him, he would remain a little for me.

Those little things makes me happy and I always feel like putting more effort to impress him.
One day while trying to impress him , l mistakenly broke my aunt's favourite plate, i felt really scared because I know what's going to happen when my aunt returns,
My uncle assured me that he's going to plead on my behalf and he did and settled the problem.

Those simple ways he uses in appreciating my hardworks made me feel like putting more effort even when he's not around.

There are several ways one can appreciate children for a work well done for example

• Buying special gifts for them once in a while
• Praising them for a work well done Etc

In a nutshell
Am strictly against financial rewards for every work done but a child should be appreciated for performing he's or her job in an extraordinary way.
There are different ways a child can be appreciated and those ways are better than financial rewards.

A child should be made to understand that house chores are for his or her own good and not a means to earn income.
