Formulating An Allowance Plan For Our Almost Four-Year-Old | I've Paid For This Twice Already... http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/05/29/formulating-an-allowance-plan-for-our-almost-four-year-old/#comment-29346 Yukonruby Thu, 29 May 2008 20:19:00 +0000 http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/05/29/formulating-an-allowance-plan-for-our-almost-four-year-old/#comment-29346 I think 1$ is a good amount to start with. We started with my son at 1$ at four as well. He's can now earn up to 2.50 at six years old. We've tied the allowance to chores and behaviour though. He gets 1$ for making sure there are three rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom, 1$ for doing six minutes of wiping of walls, drawer pulls and various handles around the house and $0.50 if he has not had a major punishement this week. I like the idea of renaming the categories. Much better than trying to explain the other words. Make sure to use a rubber spatula to really empty out the peanut butter jars and they should wash up fine. I think 1$ is a good amount to start with. We started with my son at 1$ at four as well.
