Sooner or later, in every family there is the question of whether to give your child pocket money and in what amount? Of course, the possibility of every family is different, but even with a stable income, this question remains difficult and quite controversial.
According to the psychologist on the subject diverge. Some believe that children need to give money, others hold the opposite view. Why opinions differ as to whether the children need the money and how much they give?
Some psychologists believe that young people should be given the means, while others are opposed to the issuance of pocket money, resulting in a lot of reasons that explain their point of view. So what is pocket money: evil or opportunity for children to improve self-esteem? In fact, both views have the right to exist, however, and in that, and in another interpretation there is a downside.
The child must, above all, to feel comfortable in the world of adults. Regular cash withdrawal will enable him to spend it on necessities. Indeed, the lack of minimum capabilities can develop in the student an inferiority complex. And the majority of his peers certainly has the means to buy the necessary things.
Regular cash withdrawal will form a child's sense of responsibility. He will plan their spending, and may even begin to save and accumulate.
At the same time, experts who are opposed to such a manifestation of independence, saying that until the child is small, the acquisition of all adults should do because it will be difficult to make the right choice. Furthermore, some believe that the availability of money in a child can damage at an early age.
Regular receiving pocket money can become a habit. If the first child will be happy to even small amount, then over time it was already not satisfied. In addition, the release of funds for personal expenses it will take for granted.
The ideal age for pocket money - it is 7-8 years. At this time the baby is beginning to understand that money can buy everything you need, he appreciates them and protects them. At the same time, the child must understand that money is not the parents showered from the sky and gets hard. Otherwise, your desire to instill in your child independence and improve his self-esteem will lead to consumer attitudes.
