Topic One

Giving your child an allowance?

1. How old should the child be before starting an allowance?
2. How much is the right amount?
3. Do you think it promotes laziness, greed, responsibility, pride, etc?
4. What do you think a child should realistically have to "do" to "earn" and allowance?

Gabby is getting to an age where I think that she is old enough to start doing things for herself and the household...and I mentioned a reward/allowance system, but I worry that it will promote greed or the laziness that comes from only ever "helping" when there is something in it for her.  What do you think? Help please!
