Many kids help their parents with chores， such as doing the dishes， cleaning the living room and taking out the rubbish. And some kids get money or other rewards（獎賞） such as more computer time by doing chores.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores. Susie Walton， an expert， believe that by rewarding kids， parents are sending a message that work isn't important unless you can get something. “Running any kind of family is a team work.” Walton says， “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house.”

Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily and it also teaches them real world lessons about what need to do to make money. There are also new apps （應用軟件）. With the Chore-Monster app， kids can get points and online gifts by doing chores. Kids can change them into real life rewards either online or in the real world. “We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more rewards，” one man says.

What do you think？ Should kids get rewards for doing chores？ Or should kids help do chores without getting anything？
