[QUOTE="Josie, post: 298024, member: 1792"] I tie allowance to the chores, like you do. Then when she needs money, I point out that she could have had the money if she had done her chores. I make sure that I don't provide things like cokes or candy so she can notice that she wishes she had some money. I don't loan her money. My difficult child's chores are mostly helping me in the kitchen after dinner and emptying the dishwasher. Sometimes, I will get her to help me fold clothes. She also has to get her room cleaned up every week. Besides losing her allowance, I don't take her anywhere fun or let her have a friend over, until she has done them. If she refuses to help me in the kitchen, the next time she wants to do something, I don't do it. I have stopped her allowance for weeks or months when it got to be too much of an effort to get her to do her chores, telling her she was "fired" from her job and would have no money. Eventually, she tells me she is ready to do them again. When she got to middle school, she decided she needed money and rides, so this has worked. [/QUOTE]
