I give my children some money each month to experience how to handle money. I expect them to help around the house as part of a healthy lifestyle without payment. It seem to be working so far. In contrast to this at the school where I am a teacher I am expected to give out vouchers to children who perform good "deeds", these vouchers are pooled and one is drawn out for a prize. I find this incredibly distasteful. I was so pleased to find someone with a similar view to mine. I give my children some money each month to experience how to handle money.
