Answer 5

Hire him to help you with some chores, that might be a safer route. If it isn't part of his regular chores, he can have a night where he helps with dinner, does the dishes etc and you can 'pay' him. Or like others mentioned:

-Mow neighbors lawns

-Do yard work for neighbors

-Watch pets while people are on vacation

-Wash neighbors cars and vehicles

-Get a paper-route

-Open a lemonade/orange juice/anything stand

-Clean/Vacuum houses

-If you live in a place with snow, he can shovel driveways/walkways

Most important for any of these jobs, is making sure your child is safe, so make sure they are old enough to follow important safety guidelines including:  

Make sure you always know where they are.

Avoid going door to door by themselves.

Recommend that they do jobs that they like to do.  Be sure they are mentally prepared and committed to do the work they need to do and promise to do.

If there is a cost in setting up the business, make sure they have enough money and know where the money is going to come from.

All these jobs should not interfere with normal school work or completing homework for school.

Help them set fair prices for the work they are doing.

Tell them to come to you for advice if they need it.

Good Luck!!!
