My dd aged 11 currently only clears the table after a meal.
She has asked for a pocket money increase - she currently gets £1.50 a week. I have said I will increase it if she takes on some chores at which point she seems to lose interest a bit, well, she stops asking!
I'm thinking things like making her bed every morning, tidying her room once a week, cleaning the hamster cage, maybe hoovering downstairs once a week or dusting?
So I wondered what other children of similar age do.
Perhaps even more important, I would love her to do these things without me nagging repeatedly, any tips?
