Do you often do chores in the house? After you finish your chores， will your parents give you a reward（奖励）? Usually， parents reward their kids for doing chores. But some people do not think it is a good idea.
One of them is Susie Walton， a famous teacher. She believes if kids get rewards， they will think that work isn't worth（值得）doing if you don't get anything in return. Kids will not sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will if their parents reward them for it. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all should keep our home clean." Walton said.
Other people don't think so. They believe that rewards can get kids to do more chores. Rewards also teach them real world lessons—They can learn about how we need to work to make money.
Now， there are also apps like ChoreMonster to get kids to do chores. With the app， kids can get points after doing chores. Then they can use their points to get real rewards， such as time for video games or gifts they want. "Kids need rewards， because rewards can make them want to help out more，" says Chris Bergman， the founder（创建者）of ChoreMonster.
