04/10/2024

Hey Bestie! In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the timeless question of whether children should be assigned chores from a biblical perspective. Gale and Christina’s discussion navigates through the intersection of faith, parenting, and practicality.

• 1. Should kids have chores? We reflect on the biblical principles underlying the concept of work and responsibility. Drawing from passages such as Proverbs 22:6 and Ephesians 6:1-3, we explore the importance of instilling a strong work ethic and a sense of responsibility in children. However, we also consider the balance between nurturing independence and overwhelming children with tasks.
• 2. What type of chores, based on age? Guided by the wisdom of Scripture, we discuss age-appropriate chores and the developmental benefits they offer. From simple tasks like tidying up toys to more complex responsibilities such as yard work or meal preparation, we explore how assigning chores can foster a sense of competence and contribution in children.
• 3. Should kids get paid for chores? This segment delves into the nuanced relationship between chores and financial compensation. We examine biblical teachings on the value of work and generosity, weighing the merits of offering allowance/commissions for chores versus emphasizing the intrinsic rewards of responsibility and serving others.
Book recommendation: Dave Ramsey’s Smart Money Smart Kids book. 

Throughout the episode, we provide practical tips for parents seeking to implement chore routines grounded in biblical principles. Whether you’re a seasoned parent or a soon-to-be caregiver, join us as we unpack the age-old question of kids’ chores through the lens of faith and wisdom.
