The last lesson it supplies is that the kids learn life skills. Kids should know how to handle all of these lessons and more as they grow up. Allowance helps kids learn work ethic. Work ethic is the ability to work well and do a good job. They have to work for what they want in life. It teaches them that everything does not get handed to them. They realize that how much effort they put into their chores is how much they earn back from their accomplishments.
