[quote=Anonymous]There’s a great book called the opposite of spoiled that I really like and sums up my philosophy pretty well. We also think of allowance as practice on spending. I of course by my kids things but sometimes I say no, I don’t have money for that but you can spend your allowance on it. They think about it differently and that’s the point. I reserve the right to veto any purchase and we don’t allow them to buy candy with it. We have plenty of candy around but practice just a piece or two a day.

Also, my son was being careless with an iPad recently and I explained to him how many weeks of allowance it would take to replace it and he was shocked.

My kids also really feel empowered to donate out of their own money. We encourage it but don’t require it but luckily my oldest is a great example and and when we do our year end giving she also contributes proudly. This will be the first year my son is has an allowance to participate so I’m interested to see how this goes [/quote]
