Thanks for our comment, Trish! Our family actually doesn’t do chores for pay during the summer. I still expect them to get through their chores before screen time, but we have a set time in the afternoon when the screens come on. If they don’t have their chores done by that time, they don’t get screens. Our schedule is much more laid back in the summer…I need it! Some years I will create a separate “Before Screen Time” list, but with our move it just didn’t happen this year.

I’ve found that taking time off from allowance during the summer helps them appreciate their chores for pay even more during the school year. If they really want to earn some cash, I give them bigger projects to do for some money. I hope that helps!

How does your system change in the summer when kids are home more and the M-F tasks are tossed on their heads? Do your kids knock out all chores in the morning to get to screen time?
