Get a life!
We expected a useful guideline for parents. Instead we found a money regime that is unbelievably extreme. Willard Stawski recommends paying kids to do just about everything - pay them an allowance to read books, for example.It may have worked extremely well in his family - good luck if it has - but I find the underlying money-centric values quite disturbing.

This is one way of doing things.
If you want your kids to earn every penny they have than this is a great book. If you are less militant than this book is way to extreme. It is very biased towards having the kid EARN every penny they get. I believe that some money should just be given to them.
