Giving children and adolescents pocket money is common throughout the world. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this practice and give your own opinion.
In many families, it is recently common to give
children
pocket
money
. The essay will discuss both benefits and drawbacks of this
question. In my perspective, it is a good practice, which can be the first
lesson of the economy and can help to teach children
to save money
.
The first
thing that needs to be said is some general advantages of this
issue. According to research, individuals, who were given up pocket
money
when they were children
, can better save and earn money
in their adult life. A habit to save money
, which is taught in adolescence, can be saved a whole life. And reversely, a person, who was not given pocket
money
in childhood, with high probability, would be a spendthrift. This
is explained by the fact, that pocket
money
gives children
their first
understanding of an economical system. With this
instrument, children
have an opportunity to understand how money
spread through the market. Therefore
, this
knowledge can help them in their future life to better earn and save money
.
The most common argument against this
is people's strongly believing that money
gives an opportunity to buy different addictive things like alcohol, drugs, PC games and others. Children
cannot be responsible for their lives, due to their young undeveloped brain system. This
fact can make them depending on a negative environment and, those who have money
, can be more influenced, However
, if adults protect their children
from these purchases by fixing their expenses and teaching them, these consequences could be escaped. Moreover
, should not be forgotten, that close participation in the rearing process is the main obligation of any parent. The relationships between parents and children
must be strong, in these cases, adolescents can avoid the above-mentioned problems.
In conclusion, pocket
money
can cause negative consequences only in situations, when parents do not educate their children
as well. Otherwise
, pocket
money
has exceptionally a positive impact on children
's development. In my perspective, the pros of pocket
money
are more significant, than the cons.Submitted by ospanovaalma7 on
