Pocket MoneyКарманные деньгиThe majority of schoolchildren today get pocket money. It’s due to the fact that modern parents have less time to consider their children’s needs. They eagerly give them pocket money to solve this contradiction. The question is whether this method is useful and how considerable are children when spending this money. Some people think that teenagers have become more serious and sensible in this respect, while others think that they cannot deal with money and spend it wisely. Most people think that children buy only useless things. However, it depends on each individual child. There are some youngsters, who buy flowers for their mothers and sisters. Others buy stationery for school or food when they are starving. Notable disadvantage of pocket money is that some children can spend it on cigarettes or other health-threatening habits. That’s when parents should be alarmed. To avoid such situations, they should know exactly what their children are spending money on. Besides, giving too much money to children isn’t a good idea. They can get spoiled by easy and luxurious life. It’s better to let them earn their pocket money doing minor but useful acts. For example, some juniors deliver newspapers in their free time and earn some money. Others help with gardening or work at a carwash. This way they are involved in physical activity, which is always useful. Besides, they earn decent money and they don’t have enough time for developing bad habits. Summarizing the above-mentioned viewpoints, I’d like to say that parents should give their children only limited amount of pocket money for their daily necessities, such as buying snacks and food, pens and pencils, little toys or presents for friends.
