Dad and his 6-year-old son sign an ‘agreement’ for his daily routine

The parent offers to reward the boy with money if he completes the tasks on time. Of course, there are a few clauses, as with any written agreement.

Even though they are young, children are expert negotiators when it comes to acquiring what they want. It was signed by a father to write an “agreement” with his son regarding “his daily schedule and performance-linked bonus”.

A handwritten agreement was made by Twitter user @Batla G and his six-year-old son Abir. His father assigned the boy’s daily chores, which included everything from waking up to playing tennis and even drinking milk, in a thorough list.

The idea gained a lot of attention. People on social media praised his brilliant concept and the fact that he highlighted the ten-minute rule for waking up, with many claiming it to be the adult equivalent of the snooze button.

Dad clarified in a follow-up tweet, “10 min wake time is for ‘Papa, just 10 more minutes please’ negotiation in the morning.”

The father admitted that the discussion would most likely fail shortly, but he was simply pleased that his son had agreed to work with him. “Arey poore 12 ghante chala yeh,” the man joked when asked if anything from the detailed list worked.

There are other parents who gave responses and shared their experiences with it.

I tried something like this with my son. Every he used to ask how much is his balance. One day he said it's only on paper show me the money 😀

He he😅 Been there, done that😅 It won't work at this stage but it is still a good idea because you are conveying to your son that discipline is essential for a successful life👍 In the long run, he will benefit from knowing that rules help.
