Some people think money is the best gift to give to teenagers others disagree to this. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

While a certain group do not believe giving

money

to children is a good gift, others think

this

is the best approach. I will discuss both views stating the advantages and disadvantages of both views and give my conclusion at the end.

Firstly

, giving funds to kids at an early age can be easier than getting a present mainly because the individual giving

this

gift doesn't have to stress overthinking about what the

child

will like.

Also

, most people

also

believe if they give the

child

cash, he could buy whatever he wants as most kids are materialistic.

For example

, a youngster who is given 100 nairas will use his

money

to buy whatever he wants.

However

, there are some concerns

such

as the cash might be used for something

that is

not of value and they become too

money

conscious.

Thus

, if

money

is to be given

then

I suggest parents should teach their kids to adopt saving as a lifestyle.

On the other hand

, material presents speak volumes as most children would treasure a properly thoughtful one over funds.

For example

, when you buy a play station 5 for a teenager, you automatically become his favourite person.

However

, as much as

this

has some good advantages like making them happy, socializing with friends with their new toys and gadgets, it helps them create beautiful memories and that can

last

a lifetime. The

child

might outgrow some of the gifts, some might even spend the most time with their new equipment but he or she would appreciate it more.

Thus

, I strongly believe that material things would go a long way if it is based on the need of the

child

. In conclusion ,Gifting a kid

money

isn't always the best in my opinion.

Nevertheless

, if you must

then

they need to understand the value and not squander it. Material presents should be given

instead

as it certainly holds more value and would remain a memory for the kid.
