Actually I would rather they looked into a mini job, I am sure my neighbors would pay to have a kid take out the garbage or something, I would! Not much, but I would. |
Regardless, you should still probably sit down with them to plan how they spend it.
I look at allowance as money that a kid is "allowed." Now, with their allowance, all other small purchases made by me or my wife are finished. If we are at the store and they want a pack of gum, they buy it. Of course, we have the power to say no if we think they are making a mistake. But, for the most part, we let them do with their money what they want.
