Hey all.
What's your position on rewarding kids financially for tasks that aren't just their household chores or other things they're expected to do anyway like homework or sports/music practice? Things like doing
extra sports/music practice, or creating artwork, or working to improve a skill?
DD5 wants her own money. I want to give her the chance to earn it. I don't want it to be linked to things she has to do anyway. But my friends have suggested that linking financial reward to more creative/educational pursuits might sabotage her intrinsic motivation to do those things.
Thoughts?
PS. I searched but the 'kids and money' thread didn't address the issue of intrinsic motivation
