Giving an Allowance

By: Kauakea P.

You should give your child an allowance. If you give your child an allowance it will teach him or her about money. Allowance can make children feel like you trust them enough to give them money.  Also, it's a way to give your child freedom.

If more kids got an allowance they might be better in math. They would be better in math because they would want to learn about money. They would want to learn about money so they could manage their money and save for things that they really want (Noelia de la Cruz).

If you give your child an allowance, then he or she won't come begging to you in the store if he or she can't buy something. This won't happen because he or she will have his or her own money to spend. Instead, while in the store, your child will have to think about how to use his or her money wisely (US News).

Giving an allowance late is bad because you hand over little money and little responsibility. This can lead to kids not learning enough about how to handle their money, which can make them spend their money on things they don't need. This can also make them broke because they don't know how to manage their money (Ron Lieber).

So all this means that if you give your child an allowance now, it will help them with math. It will also help you and your child because your child will develop independence. It can also help children in the long run because they will know how to manage their money.
