Many kids help parents to do chores such as washing the dishes,cleaning the floors and taking out the trash in the house. 【小题1】 But some people do not think that kids should get rewards(奖赏)for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton,a parenting educator. 【小题2】 For example,kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it. “Every house 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 to keep our home clean.”
【小题3】They believe that money or other rewards can motivate kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. Now,there are also apps(应用软件)that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. 【小题4】 “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,”says Chris Bergman,founder of Chore Monster.“Kids need positive(积极的)power to make them do chores.”
