I've been trying to get my DS to earn pocket money for a few years now, all I've asked him to do is simple stuff like making his bed, putting dirty washing in wash bin, clear dinner stuff etc but he's never really done it, I've tried chore sheets and lists to remind him (he struggles with too many verbal instructions) but still no joy. When I ask him to do these things he huffs and puffs, his behavior is getting worse and he has started having real anger outbursts.
He is at an age now where he needs regular pocket money for phone credit, and to have in case he needs money as he is going to start going out and about more often alone now, but I just don't want to hand him money whenever he asks for it, but I can't get him to do the simplest of tasks around the house without a big battle.
what works for you?
