[quote=Anonymous]Oldest kid is in high school. Allowance starts in kindergarten and goes up every year. It is theirs to spend/save/donate as they see fit (unless they want to buy something they're not allowed to have -- no TV in the bedroom, for example -- and if it is something they are allowed to have it may still be regulated, so time on the game system they pooled their funds to buy is still limited). Even in K, you get enough money to buy SOMETHING each week. It may only be a candy bar, but you don't have to save weeks to buy it. We use the phrase "That's what your allowance is for" a LOT. Allowance isn't tied to chores. Chores are tied to privileges. (So if you haven't done your laundry, no screen time and I'm not driving you to Target.) Even without it being a requirement, my kids donate to charity because they've seen their parents do it. [/quote]
