How can small children contribute to the “family economy”?
There is also babysitting, dog walking and house sitting.  Depending on their age of course. You should also investigate what is required to get them the ability to setup their own Roth IRA.  I know one of the requirements is you can't put more into the Roth then was earned in income in the year.  They might also have to file an income tax return (not sure about that one).  Just think of how far ahead of the game they will be if they can get a couple of grand or more in a Roth account while in their early teens.
