Are you struggling to get your children to clean their rooms and help around the house? Do your children understand the value of money and how to manage it wisely?
How to Get Your Children to Clean Their Rooms Using Rubric Rules
is a practical, step-by-step guide that teaches parents how to get their kids to clean their rooms and manage their Earned-Allowance responsibly. Featuring a tool called Rubric Rules, this unique method is based on worksheets called "rubrics" which teachers use in the classroom. Parents can customize the Rubric Rules to add a deadline, a consequence, and an Earned-Allowance. There's even a Good Attitude task!
Also incorporated into the book is a Money Management System that teaches children how to budget money. With each Earned-Allowance payment, money is divided into four categories: Giving, Short-Term Savings, Long-Term Savings, and Spending, which gets children into a lifetime habit of managing money wisely. The book is for any parent who has a child between the ages of 4 and 18.

A variety of ready-made or easy-to-customize checklists of tasks that must be done.
Rubrics for cleaning a bedroom, bathroom, game room, and other common areas - even laundry and deep cleaning rubrics!
Rubrics with pictures for children as young as four.
