[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 51833, member: 1722"] We haven't used cash for homework here. I figure the school assigned it, they can pay up if she requires a bribe to do it, lol! Seriously though, her school has a responsibility & independence program in place, parents have been encouraged not to bribe or offer incentives for school work, but rather talk to the teacher so the teacher can work out the issue with the student. We have a small allowance and minor responsibility system here: Make her bed Feed the cats Put dirty laundry in the hamper Clear her plate from the table Put away toys *Help pull out the trash cans *Help set the table *These don't happen all the time, but she knows to do it when asked or she will be docked. It's worked pretty well. She likes getting the money, but she also likes to take care of herself & be independent. Occasionally, we'll let her earn a little extra if there's something she really wants. We use chores like pulling weeds, washing the kitchen floor, shoveling, picking up the yard, putting away shoes (why is there always a huge pile by the door?!?). [/QUOTE]
