Get Creative with Allowance—Try These Alternatives for Kids (with printables)

When it comes to allowance, there’s often a mix of perspectives among parents on what they think is the best system for their kids. Some may have expected weekly allowances, while others prefer to give an allowance based on performance and accomplishments. Yet others are against the idea of financial rewards all together and like to use something other than cash to reward their kids.
