How to Use the Chart
1.
Daily Chores:
- Madeline should check off each daily chore as she completes it.
- This helps her keep track of her progress and ensures she doesn’t forget any tasks.

Weekly Chores:
- Madeline should focus on completing the specific weekly chore assigned to each day.
- For example, on Monday, she should walk the dog, and on Tuesday, she should water the plants.

Reward:
- At the end of the week, if all daily and weekly chores are completed, Madeline earns the $20 extra allowance.
- This provides motivation to stay consistent with her responsibilities.
