Money

Parents have very different opinions on giving money to children. Some parents feel that as they provide everything that their children need they don’t need to give them money. Some give money because they feel that children need to learn about spending and saving. Some parents exchange pocket money for ‘jobs’ or give it as a reward for good behaviour, homework or achievements. Where parents give an allowance children are expected to buy their own clothes.
