Most parents would say that a major goal for their children in the long run is for them to become productive members of society. But how do we get there today when that seems so far off? With the ever-increasing pressures in life and child rearing, it can be overwhelming. As we are raising our children to become responsible, independent, mindful adults, it is great to have small, incremental goals in mind along the journey. As your children reach the age of 10, here are some benchmarks that are important for your children to understand. If they don’t know them now, these are some ideas you can work on in your home with your children.
A great way to organize this is to set up a daily chore chart that outlines what chore(s) they are responsible for each day. If you want to start an allowance, you can pay them what works within your budget. By age ten, children should understand that there is a “pay day” – in other words, you don’t need to pay your child right away when they complete their chore. If “pay day” in your house is Sunday night, then your child can work each day doing their specific chores and then receive payment on that specified day.
