[quote=Anonymous]I give my 4-year-old $4 a week, and she's expected to help me a little around the house. She'll have more $ and more chores as she gets older. For us, allowance is used to pay for things I don't want to pay for. If she sees something she wants, like an American Girl outfit or a barbie doll, she has to decide if she likes it enough to plunder her allowance. And sometimes she doesn't have enough so she has to save up. I buy her clothes, birthday gifts for other kids, occasional treats and toys. We also negotiate on special occasions, like on vacations - I'll say she has $X to spend on a souvenir and she has to stay within that range.[/quote]
