My philosophy on teaching diligence has apparently needed some adjusting!
I never knew how hard a child could work until I offered her $5 to get rid of all the weeds in the yard!
Why shouldn’t I pay her to do a job I'd rather skip?
It took her several afternoons of work. Each afternoon after completing her schoolwork, she can be found persistently and carefully checking for weeds in the backyard.
(Next week, it’s on to the flower gardens!)

I love it! Teaches them a good work ethic and to value money :)
And Kim, LOVE LOVE LOVE the pic on your blog header!
Very smart! Perhaps some would argue that you shouldn't pay her, but I think you're teaching her a great lesson -- work hard and it will pay off.
Also, I'm quite astonished by her work ethic! Many children would try to do as little work as possible.
Great job!
Stopping over from Steady Mom! Love reading about your family! Ours was created by God thru adoption as well! Love it!
what a good little worker she is. I do think it is fine to pay them money to do certain chores.
