What chores are age-appropriate for kids?

Ages 4-6: tidy toys, make the bed, feed pets. Ages 7-10: wash dishes, sweep, take out rubbish, help cook. Ages 11+: laundry, clean rooms, run errands, wash the car. Match chores to what your child can do safely.

How much should I reward each chore?

Small, regular amounts work best. Many families use a few shillings per chore that add up over the week. Set rewards you can sustain, and consider a small base allowance plus chore earnings.

Common questions

What chores are right for my child's age?

Ages 4–6: tidy toys, make the bed, feed pets. Ages 7–10: wash dishes, sweep, take out rubbish, help cook. Ages 11+: laundry, clean their room, run errands, wash the car.

How much should each chore be worth?

Keep it small and sustainable — a few shillings per chore that add up across the week. Many families pair a small base allowance with chore earnings on top.

Should every chore be paid?

Many parents keep some chores as "just part of being family" (unpaid) and pay for extra effort. That balance teaches responsibility and earning at the same time.

Skip the paper. In Tija Kids, chores, ticks and rewards happen in the app — money lands in your child's savings automatically.
