Should parents give their children an allowance?
Most children have heard this statement from their parents, "When you grow up, you can buy that with your own money." Whether or not to give children an allowance is a personal choice for each family. The question is still not answered: should parents give their children an allowance?

I think that children should be given an allowance because it make children have to be responsible with their money, which is a skill needed in life. Now when I was growing up my parents gave me pocket money, and if I asked for it, money to go to the mall or to the supercenter, but with pocket money I was taught that I needed to work for what I want, so yes, I think that parents should provide their child with an allowance, of course if the child does chores around the house, or work hard for the money, than I see no reason for the child not to have an allowance. Side: YES
I think that children need to receive a monthly or even a weekly allowance. This will be their first step to develop financially. But, when are kids ready? When children start expressing wants and can tell the difference between all kinds of coins and bills, they are old enough to begin receiving an allowance. Often, that is around preschool age. It's a good age, when they're forming their good habits. Some parents begin to give their sons an allowance when they are five. Parents don’t have to decide based on the child age. Their decision would rather be built on their kids ability to think of how to spend the money and when they know exactly what is in their hands. Side: YES
I agree with you because parents should be able to give their kids an allowance if it is something they feel will benefit their child. Some children who receive an allowance learn to earn, save, and donate with the money and begin to understand the connection between what they have to do to earn the reward. Other children will find lessons on making a budget and balancing a checkbook and savings account. So much potential to learn when a child gets an allowance. Side: YES

This is the reason Karim that we should give our children an allowance. If you don't teach them to spend the money wisely at an early age; then when are they going to do that. Should we wait until it is too late or the children grow up knowing nothing about the good habits of spending their money. If we do so, our children will not be able to manage their money according to their benefits. They may even use them in a harmful way and waste them as they might not know exactly the worth of this money for them and for those around them. Side: YES
When I grew up, I was one of the kids who never had 'pocket money' and instead was given however much i needed for what i told my parents i needed to purchase that day. While it was very restraining and irritating, knowing the kids around me were buying drugs and condoms and getting laid with their freedom, I now realise that I was saved form doing such stupid shit and wasting my childhood away on idiocy. Side: NO
We aren't for giving our children money and let them go out and buy whatever they need without any observation from the parents. This will be bad parenting. It is the responsibility of parents to observe their kids behaviour and ask them regularly about the money they receive to know how they spend it and guide them on good ways of spending it. We want to give our kids limited freedom - which says you are free to do whatever you want, while we watch carefully from a safe distance!! Side: YES
Not all communities like each other . Nowadays most of the societies have been more responsible, careful and cautious. Whatever if the parents teach their children the good manners and morals they will never do things like this so they will be a source of confidence. Side: YES
