I bought a great product to help my kids understand money better. I wasn't sure if they would understand it, as young as they are, but it's a good system that keeps me organized and simple enough for them to understand it. A couple days ago I realized how much my oldest, 5, caught onto.
I was headed out for a date and the house was in a terrible state. I couldn't motivate the kids to help me so my husband came up with a brilliant thought and told them, "If you don't clean up we'll have to pay the baby sitter to clean up for you. But we're paying them with YOUR money, since it is YOUR job to clean YOUR toys."
Fifteen minutes later - toy free house.

I love this. You've got some smart kids.
