CHILDREN: Give your children an allowance and some chores -- but don't combine them In the peculiar world of human motivation, sometimes adding two positives can give you a negative.

Allowances teach kids to be responsible for, and manage, their own money. But combining the two is a big mistake.", "But combining the two is a big mistake. By linking money to the completion of chores, parents turn an allowance into what I call an \"if- then\" reward (as in \"If you do this, then you get that.\") The science is very clear that \"if-then\" rewards, while effective in some circumstances, can trigger an avalanche of unintended consequences.", "The science is very clear that \"if-then\" rewards, while effective in some circumstances, can trigger an avalanche of unintended consequences. In this case, the carrot of payment sends kids a clear (and clearly wrongheaded) message: In the absence of cash, no self-respecting child would willingly set the table, empty the garbage or make her own bed. It converts a moral andfamilial obligation into just another commercial transaction -- and teaches that the only reason to do a less-than-desirable task for your family is for payment.", "It converts a moral andfamilial obligation into just another commercial transaction -- and teaches that the only reason to do a less-than-desirable task for your family is for payment. So keep allowance and chores separate, and you just might get that trash can emptied. Even better, your kids will begin to learn the difference between principles and payoffs.
