I'm just wondering if anyone else wonders this?
How is giving the hearts any different from paying a child to do something?
Sandra, I'm not trying to be a bitch or anything but I was reading the
unschooling boards and read about the boy who wouldn't shower. You
suggested to pay him a dollar. I don't understand the difference between
the two?>>

Ooh, good question. I am wondering now too. I don't pay my kids to do
anything. They get money but don't have to do anything for it. Even the
oldest who is 16. I give her money from time to time. She use to get an
allowance but once she got a job that stopped. Then she quit her job and is
now looking for another one. No allowance for her but I do give her money
for stuff. She asks to borrow it but I never let her pay it back. She knows
she needs to get a job soon as she has a car coming in the near future. Her
watching the kids or doing anything I ask her to do for me aside from what
she normally does goes unrewarded. Well at least in money terms. We are all
rewarded big time in this house!!!
