Pocket Money

Giving your child a  pocket money allowance can be an excellent way to help them learn to manage money, a skill that will help them throughout their life, or it can be a battleground and a source of aggravation.  This short and simple guide has been compiled not only from experience as a parent but also through discussion with many other parents, some who admit they got it horribly wrong.


The guide answers the basic questions about why, when and how much as well as  suggested strategies for paying and, sometimes, not paying pocket money.
