Every parent has different viewpoints on the issue of allowance for their children. Some give their children money when they complete certain chores. Other give a weekly\/monthly allowance. Still others figure that children should not get an allowance at all.<\/p>\n
As for my husband and I, we decided to give a monthly allowance that is unrelated to household chores. We feel that she should not get paid for doing what she should do anyways in contributing to the home. But, having a small allowance allows us to teach her good habits in budgeting, saving, and prioritizing. That said, if she is completely disregarding her role in the family by being completely lazy or not listening, we can suspend her allowance arrangement at any time.<\/p>\n
That’s just our own take though. Ultimately, no matter what method is chosen, our goal as parents is to teach our children the value of work and how to responsibly handle money.\u00a0My Job Chart<\/a> is a valuable (and free!) tool in helping to do this, and the 75,000 others that are using it agree!<\/p>\n
