Teach kids money is earned
End the "I want it now" battles. Kids set savings goals, do the work, and finally get why you don't just buy them everything.
How it works
They learn by doing, not by you lecturing
They want something
New game, toy, whatever. They set it as a goal and see the price tag.
They do the work
Chores earn feathers. They watch their balance grow. Patience builds.
They get it
When they finally buy it themselves, they understand value.
They learn to wait
Delayed gratification is a skill. This is how they build it.

Feathers come from chores
Assign chores, set feather rewards, let kids complete them. It all flows into their allowance balance.

Next time they ask, you can say "check your balance." They'll figure out the rest.
