t's no small task to teach
children to be financially
responsible. And it's next
to impossible to set up an
ideal method to achieve this
goal, because families have
different value systems.
Children's concepts about
money and how to manage it
develop along with other at-
titudes that parents nurture.
Most children begin to
learn about money manage-
ment when they get their first
allowance. A weekly allow-
ance does more than provide
money; it reinforces the idea
that children are family mem-
bers, entitled to a designated
portion of family resources.
While experts disagree about
how an allowance should be
used to teach financial aware-
ness, most do agree receiving
an allowance is a valuable
part of growing up.
An allowance should start
when children have mastered
number concepts and are en-
tering school and, if possible,
should be comparable to what
their classmates receive.
Tailor the amount given to
the age of the children and to
what they may reasonably
need to purchase. Too much
can set up unrealistic expec-
tations and prevent them
from setting priorities; too lit-
tle may lead children to
wonder if they're poor.
It is unwise to use money
as a reward or punishment.
Either way, experts say,
money is tied to approval or
disapproval, which is a mis-
take. Though a parent may be
tempted to offer money for
