Giving children and adolescents pocket money is common throughout the world.Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this practice and give your own opinion.
The upbringing of a child has always been a contentious issue and there are various ideologies and practises carried out by parents to teach their children about life skills. Nowadays, parents lend a certain amount of sum every month or week to their offsprings so that they would manage their daily expenses. In my view, there is certainly benefits of
this
implementation. This
, however has
some merits and demerits of it, and in Accept comma addition
however, has
this
essay, we shall discuss them further
.
There are several benefits of such
practice, firstly
, it teaches them to be organised and practical, for instance
, a child would learn how to handle their monthly or daily expenses within a limited budget. Moreover
, children learn to be observant and patience, for things they want to purchase or for things they desire for which they wait patiently. Additionally
, he/she may also
learn to value and acknowledge money. As a result
, the child tends to be more disciplined and stern.
On the contrary
, there are two sides to a coin, and thus
there are some drawbacks, for example
, some children may learn the opposite of what was meant to be. Furthermore
, teenagers are more energetic and spontaneous about their decision, and thus
would eventually buy something unnecessary or baseless. However
, these setbacks can be resolved through parent involvement.
To summarize, certainly the merits outweigh the demerits, and therefore
, there is no harm in carrying out such
methods, and it rather should be encouraged. Nevertheless
, children are bound to make mistakes, but in-time those problems could be rectified.Submitted by tasbeauty.nature on
