- Tying allowance solely to chores doesn't teach children the crucial skill of value creation.
Money as a Store of Value
- Teach children that money is a store of value created through solving problems and meeting needs.
- Focus on teaching value creation first, and financial rewards will follow naturally.
Chores vs. Gigs
- Differentiate between chores (expectations) and gigs (paid opportunities).
