How I set up the chore-based allowance rules for my kids ② (A)

In my latest blog, I decided to change my random allowance method to the chore-based allowance in my family. I immediately came up with a list of household duties.
■put away the laundry 10yen
■run a bath 10yen
■take out the garbage 10yen
■clean the bathroom 50yen
■get a perfect score on a test. 50yen
(The tests only take place twice a month, so it's around 100 yen a month.)
Although a test is not a household chore, the score of it still represents the result of effort.
The children were also interested in the system, so we immediately tried it in November.
By the way, I have two kids aged 9 and 11. They can perform most of the household chores on their own.
But only regarding the bathroom cleaning, we let them do it first to show our trust, and then the adults will redo it again.
If your child is still small, you may have to keep an eye on them. If you don't, you may need to do the housework again, which may be an extra burden.

I pasted my son's housework records on his snack box; my daughter's on hers.
Next time, I would like to share the result with you after a month-long trial.
