Paper route
A paper route is one of the most common tried and true ways to earn money, and has been the first job for many kids over the decades.
Pros:
First, if your child rides his bicycle every morning during deliveries, he will be getting a great workout while he is earning money. Second, paper deliverers have the freedom to do their route as quickly as they want, in the order that they want; and they don’t have to dress up to do it!
Cons:
Unpredictable Weather: your child will be facing adverse(不利的) weather conditions.
Early Morning Hours: newspapers have to arrive early, many times by 5:00 in the morning. But your children might have to be up as early as 2: 00 a. m. to get the papers out on time.
Collecting Money: It can be intimidating(令人胆怯的 ) for some children to ask strangers for money.
What Kids Can Learn About Money (by doing a paper route):
Paper routes depend on punctuality of the paper delivery. Your child will learn to deliver the papers by a specified time each morning.
Family business
If you own your own business, you can hire them to work for your family business.
Pros:
Since you will be the employer, you can make changes to their schedule if you need to. In addition, your child will work for you, so you’ll always know where he is and be able to keep an eye on him.
Cons:
Variability: depending on your line of work, you may not have enough work to keep your child busy consistently.
Limited for Children: If you don’t have your own business, but like the idea, you may want to ask friends, neighbors, or relatives you know who might want to hire some additional help.
What Kids Can Learn About Money (by working for the family business):
Working for the family will give your children a direct line of communication when they want to talk. Give them the opportunity to discuss pay rates with you. Introduce them to negotiations to agree on a fair rate.
