I think you are doing it right! :D <br />I think we should start giving some pocket money at 4, but only a very small amount, and let them buy something each month with it! It would start teaching some value.<br />We have already given the toddler of two a purse with cents in it, and she is happily making money from paper... And then we discuss what we are going to buy with it! It starts very small ;-)MomAgain@40http://momagain40.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-91889013984465000232011-09-22T15:20:32.100+02:002011-09-22T15:20:32.100+02:00Let me know if you really want - small little boxe...Let me know if you really want - small little boxes - can be sent in post.Cat Juggleshttp://juggelingactoflife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-39680196993189315622011-09-22T15:20:31.621+02:002011-09-22T15:20:31.621+02:00I think it depends on how much you can afford and ...I think it depends on how much you can afford and what you'll make them pay for themselves I guess. When we were kids we used to get a few bucks tuck money every Friday in primary school and only moved onto serious pocket money in high school. In st 6 I got a whopping R50 and if I wanted more I had to get a weekend job (I needed more because I smoked skelm and that didn't cover it!). When my brother when to high school 4 years later he got R200 a month (inflation huh?) buuuut it's because he was really picky about brand name clothes unlike me, so my mom made him pay for his own.<br /><br />One guy that was in my class came from a filthy rich family (although you would never say it by chatting to him, salt of the earth kind of guy). Their rule was that he got R5000 a month but he had one cheque to draw, and the rest would go into a 32 day account of some sorts for the future. So he had to carefully budget his spending money. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I thought it was a pretty clever way to teach someone the value of money who had wagon loads of it anyway.Louisahttp://louisa123.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-30954391284370026002011-09-22T15:20:30.648+02:002011-09-22T15:20:30.648+02:00I'm yet to find Polly Pockets.

R10 per year of their age. I don't actually give it to Polly yet, as I buy her so much stuff. But D I do, and then she has to buy half of the airtime that she uses a month, out of her pocket money. So I reimburse her 50% of what she spends on airtime. That way she knows the value, thinks twice about using her phone too much and also saves it as I put it directly into her bank acct.Shaynehttp://yummymummycupcake.co.zanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-18639800112647877122011-09-22T15:20:26.580+02:002011-09-22T15:20:26.580+02:00Still can't stop singing it.Still can't stop singing it.A Daft Scots Lassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-69615347181508918742011-09-22T15:20:26.101+02:002011-09-22T15:20:26.101+02:00My eldest is STILL a LittlePetShop lover.

I do give my kids pocket money...its quite informal with the little ones but I basically give them R10 for each year of life...so Honey get R90, Lulu R60 and Hooli R40. I dont think this is the best system though - i just adopted it from a friend but it doesnt seem fair to me....its all disposable income at this stage so i think they should get the same. ARgh, still figuring it out though. be interested to hear what others say!Melodyhttp://www.fivetribe.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-14014819432390067302011-09-22T15:20:25.713+02:002011-09-22T15:20:25.713+02:00She sounds like such a sensible little girl - I lo...She sounds like such a sensible little girl - I love how she's calculating what her next 2 teeth will buy her!<br /><br />And yes now I have ABBA stuck in my head *sigh*alidaonlinehttp://seizethechocolate.comnoreply@blogger.com
