When grandkids are visiting for the summer I have already bought up lots of things from garage sales and then they help with different tasks at the house. They can earn Monopoly money to "buy" one of these treats. (No help, no treat!)

Great idea! I will be using this idea for my 5 year old son...start him early ;-)
Thanks!
Hm-m-m-mm, I'm thinking that kids should not have to be bribed in order to do whatever they're asked. It could be a never ending challenge and both sides would eventually lose. If there is an especially hard job one needs help with, there's nothing wrong with a little reward. But, if the child refuses to help, the parents need to be told and you deserve feedback/results/apology from the child, unless they are very small. I believe ages 6 -9
can help in small ways, ages 9-12 can help in bigger ways, and over 12 can help in all ways. If there is no willingness, it's a sign of poor character and bad conscience/training. It's never too late to teach them
