Final Exam Part 3

    Many parents give children a weekly or monthly allowance regardless of their behavior because they believe an allowance teaches children to be financially responsible. Other parents only give children an allowance as a reward for completing chores or when they have behaved properly.

    I strongly believe that parents should not just give their children a monthly allowance for being alive, especially if they are the kind to go behind peoples back and rebel. They need to limit their kids and not give them cash because the parents pity them. If they are going to give their kids any money, it should be from good grades, doing chores, etc.
   
    Even if the parents are considered to be 'rich' and have too much money to care about, that does not allow them to easily spoil their children. This gives their kids the idea that they will not ever have to work for themselves and can buy whatever their heart desires.

    Having a limit to what to do and not to do builds character and intuition for teenagers. Being reckless and rebellious at a young age will cause regret and damage when they grow up. Like doing drugs and skipping classes, only because they will never need a job or a career and can live off of their parents for the rest of their lives.

   When you are limited when it comes to spending, you have a sense to know what is worth paying for or not, a three-thousand dollar watch is not worth the money like a functional computer or food for the next day is. We know when to stop, when to know "This is enough" and to start saving for your future. We know what our priorities are.

    Going back to giving your kids an allowance, I would certainly recommend giving your kids the money when they deserve it and do hard work to achieve it. Although, that isn't the only way you can reward your kids. Depending on how old they are, you can take them to the park, go to the mall, give them a present they have been asking for, or give them food, food never disappoints.

    At the end of the day, everything relies on what kind of children you have, what kind of parent you are and how much money you have in your pockets. Nothing is the same for everybody, it is up to them to know what is right or wrong hen respecting their kids.
