In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra puter time.t worth doing unless you get something in return. Running any kind of household is a team effort, Susie said. A home is a living space for everyone in the family.

With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by pleting chores that they can turn in for reallife rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall.
