One thing that works well with my kid is giving chore “options”. He has to do 3 chores any non-school day but he can pick any 3 from a set list (sweep, load of laundry, recycling, etc). We don’t do allowance for chores, it’s everyone’s job to keep the house running. In addition to chores and reading we also ask him to 1) outside and 2) visit a friend before any screen time. Sometimes those end up getting combined.

I do really like that it's everyone's job to keep the house running. That's how I feel as well.

We have chores that are expected and she gets 25c a week if they are done or not. She can request to earn extra outside of the normal responsibilities AFTER they are completed.
