Many people think, that parents should encourage their children in order to study very well, but others do not agree and consider, that a child should be responsible for studies himself without pocket money. Let us start by considering pros and cons of extra pocket money for children.
In my opinion, each child begins to whine, that do not want to go to school. And parents should motivate a child for learning. Extra pocket money is a good idea for it.
Firstly, a child will feel parents’ trust and he will become more independent. So, a child knows, that having own money, he may buy anything.
Secondly, a child will comply with the rule. A good mark is good money. He will understand if he tries to study very well, pocket money will be given. So, a child will change attitude to learning. Children will possess qualities such as industrious, seriousness, responsibility and so on.
Finally, a person, who deals with money constantly, gets new skills. For example, a child learns to keep money for more important purchase, than cakes in a school canteen.
On the other hand, if parents abuse giving money, a child may become greedy and he will ask for money constantly.
However, if parents distribute the family budget correctly and explain to the child, that he has grown, problems can be avoided.
To sum up, I still believe in fact that children will learn better and become independent, if parents motivate them.
