I read something about giving money for jobs that you would otherwise hire out for...For example, helping with the dishwasher is expected, but mowing the lawn could be a paid job. Laura C.. After reading "The Opposite of Spoiled" I decided to gives my 6-year-old (at the time) 50 cents for each year, so he got $3 a week. I don't tie in chores, which is why it's a small amount. He splits the money into three categories: save, spend and share. Chores are what he does to earn screentime. eMaiL your FeeDBaCK to editor@fredericksburgparent.net FredParent " allowance Unita W. Only for extra chores. Sarah E.M. We have chores and jobs. Since we get paid for our job, our 4-syear-old gets paid a dime for her jobs (empty silverware from dish washer and feed dogs).

(BACA) exists to create a safer environment for abused children by empowering children to not feel afraid of their world. Imagine how an abused child feels when a group of large bikers rides up to their house, inducts them into their club and then escorts them to court to testify against their abuser. BACA member Shadow says, "We exist to fill a hole that the therapists and attorneys can't fill once the child has to go home. We will stay outside that child's home until the child feels safe." BACA lends support to their wounded friends by involving them with an established, united organization. They work in con- junction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. They send a clear mes- sage to all involved with the abused child that this child is part of their organization, and that they are prepared to lend their physical and emotional sup- port to them by affiliation and by their physical pres- ence. They stand at the ready to shield these children from further abuse. They do not condone the use of violence or physical force in any manner; however, if circumstances arise such that they are the only obstacle preventing a child from further abuse, they stand ready to be that obstacle.
