Summary

Something that has both concerned and challenged Rob as a parent is how to manage pocket money and chores for his two children. He wants his children to be raised with an entrepreneurial spirit and with an understanding of hard work and money. Listen in to this episode to hear his thoughts on the subject! KEY TAKEAWAYS Mum pays her daughter of 9 to do chores and for good behaviour. Some people disagree but if it works and teaches her about the world of work what is the issue? Perhaps the concept of rewarding good behaviour is good, but something like chores children should do anyway and this should be reserved for teaching them bigger lessons, such as paying them when they do something entrepreneurial.
