Experts say there is no right amount.Actual amounts differ from region to region,and from family to family.To set an appropriate allowance for your child,work up a weekly budget.(1) ____________________________________.Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money,bus fare, and school supplies.“If you make the child responsible for these bills,”
says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist,“he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.”Finally, add some money to make saving possible.
(2)___________________________________________________.
A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers’ can feel left out.
It can be tough,but avoid excusing your children when they made a mistake with their allowance.When Brooke Stephens was ten,her mother gave her ＄5 a week,＄1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch.One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store;then she called home for a ride.“Mom made me walk home,” recalls Stephens,now a financial planner in Brooklyn.“At first I was angry.But I realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.”
(3) _________________________________________.Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family.You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home,which can develop his or her initiative.
