I’ve recently become a co-leader of a Girl Scout Brownie troop. Another co-leader suggested Brownie bucks that the scouts can earn for various things throughout the meeting – like helping out or paying dues or being on time and paying attention. It has worked remarkably well!
At the home, since I planned on starting the kids out on an allowance, I went ahead and used real money instead, giving them a set amount and deducting if they missed a chore or mis-behaved. Thing is… I like the idea of rewarding positives more than punishing negatives. And, I had read somewhere that it’s best we don’t pay kids to do chores because in real life, we all don’t get paid to do chores – wouldn’t that be swell?
So when I saw this personalized money generator today, I knew I have to give it a try. I bet they’d get a kick out of that too. Generate money with mom or dad or their own pictures and ‘pay out’ to them for positive behavior and chores. You can later set up a ‘store’ of your own or maybe set up a ‘cash in’ policy. Maybe, you could even draw up a chart with pictures of the things/toys they really want and put your own price on them.
On the site, you can generate Singapore Dollars, US Dollars, UK Pounds, Canadian Dollars and a whole list of other ‘currencies’. These are NOT legal tender of course.
