Question

President Obama has said that he gives each of his two daughters just a dollar a week for their chores, such as setting the table, washing dishes and cleaning up their play area and bedrooms.

People have different opinions about paying little kids for doing chores or just giving money to them. Some families think that everyone in the family should do housework, and that kids shouldn't be paid for doing so. The supporters (支持者)however, believe that kids should get paid, and that the money they get will help kids learn important skills of how to use it.

But for those who choose to give the money, it can be a headache decision on how much they should give, especially in these difficult economic（經濟的）times. A good idea is that you can keep records of how much you spend on your child daily for two weeks and then decide how much you should give according to the average daily amount. Kids can start receiving money around ages 4 or 5, when children start to understand how money works.
