Many kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务), such as the floor, emptying the dishwasher, taking out the trash and so on. 36

Paying kids for chores is one of the most hotly debated parenting topics, especially at a time where everyone is more concerned about their finances. The logic behind tying allowances to chores is clear. 37 So they should pay kids to do their jobs.

38 Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort.” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”

39 They believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of Chore Monster. “ 40 ”

A. Many people hold the view.

B. In exchange, they get some pocket money or other rewards.

C. Other people think differently.

D. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores.

E. Grown-ups get paid to do their jobs.

F. Kids need positive reinforcement(强化)to help motivate them

G. Pay kids is sending a bad message.
