In return, some ids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.But some people don't thin that ids should get rewards for doing chores.

But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it.“Every house is a team effort,”Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for ids to see that we all have a responsibility to eep our home clean.”Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage ids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to wor to mae money.Now, there are also apps that encourage ids to do chores. The apps give ids points and digital(数字的)gifts that can be used either online or in life.With the app ChoreMonster, ids can get digital points after doing chores. ids can echange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.“Our goal is to encourage ids to earn rewards, ”says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “ids need positive power to mae them do chores.”1.
