Summer Schedules and Allowances
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Thursday, June 10, 2010 6:15 PM
This week on the podcast (click here to listen or click on the player above), Danielle, Rachel and I talk about the transition into summer. With the more relaxed days of summer, how are you making the transition as a family? What are some things that you “let go” in summertime and what are some activities your family takes up? How do you maintain a balance between summer fun and getting things done? Do you have certain projects planned for this summer? Travel plans? How will you and your family make the most of these summer months for fun and family time?
This week’s Faith & Family Feature Product is the 10-20-30GO! system, an “accountability system” that can help any family to find time for prayer, reading and household chores. The program can help any family looking to build more accountability and a closer relationship with Christ and with one another. Read more about 10-20-30GO! at our recent post on the blog.
In our final segment, we discuss the topic of allowances for kids. How do you handle allowances in your house? Do you use a set system or do you play it by ear? How do you go about teaching kids to manage money? Do you tie chores to pay or are chores “expected” at your house? What kinds of success stories do you have to share with regard to teaching kids the value of a dollar? How do you teach kids to take pride in their work?
