Bill, What do you think of the Dave Jr. as a whole?
Do you think it's too young for your 10 yr old? Or is it right in line with what she's able to do?
I ask because I was eyeballing it myself, but I can't bring myself to spend the money on it if it's something I can do myself - or if it's pretty much what we already do....
My kids earn dominos for chores, etc. This was the easiest way to keep up with it - Say little j takes it upon himself to help me bring all the groceries in from the car, he earns a domino - it's up to him to hang on to it and keep it safe until Sunday - then they can bring me all their dominos & cash them in.
One domino equals $1
I wanted to do poker chips, but I didn't have any - and haven't found any at the thrift store - I still think poker chips would be cool because each kid could have a different color -
anyway, I like our system because it teaches them to keep up with their dom. & not lose them -
after having the actual money - they can store it someplace safe until there is enough to take to the bank - and they have to save at least 25% but more if they choose to.
I was also eyeballing the teen homeschooling unit - but I'd LOVE to actually SEE it first.
