To parents: When do you start giving cash allowances to your kids?

[FrankDrebin]

Sa akin dalawang piso lang. Yung papel pa na blue. P.50 lang ang sago at gulaman sa malaking nescafe glass. tapos 2 piraso na cherry-ball na P.05 isa. May sukli pa ako pambili ng flying t. :D

if my parents had done this i would not have had to sell my body on the street for comic book money

May bumili ba sir?

Good topic, mga pamanagkin ko, highschool na when their parents started giving them cash allowance, ang naging epekto nun di nila alam yung value ng pera na baon nila, madali silang lokohin kase di nila alam kung may sukli pa o wala pag may binili sila. Di sila naging dependent sa pera yun nga lang laging nakaasa sa parents pag may gusto silang bilhin.

[BlueGirl]

takot lang kami baka kung anu-ano ang bilhin na pagkain sa school canteen. kausapin nalang siguro namin ng mabuti.

sir pwede mo siguro bigyan kahit konti(P10-20) tapos ihulog sa coin bank.at least as early as now matutunan niya value ng money since may baon naman siya.kung may gusto siyang food/snack from canteen bili nalang sa grocery.

Nung bata kasi ako, di rin ako binbigyan ng parents ko ng regular na allowance. I mean I would get a 20 every now and then pero I only got regular allowance mga tipong high school and college. Para sa akin mas ok ata yung ganun kasi natuto ako na di lahat ng gusto ko makukuha ko ng ganun-ganun lang. Especially na in college I got a part-time job na rin so parang pamasahe na lang bibigay nila sa akin tapos ako na ang bumibili ng mga gusto ko

For my kids now, bata pa sila so sinasanay ko na baon muna sila for now. Duda din kasi ako paminsan sa sanitation ng mga canteen eh. Pero yung baonan naman nila is completo. May snacks sila, pang lunch, water, juice/milk, and konting sweet treats. I try to make it fun din by using creative containers since ang mga bata ang hilig sa mga ganun. This year ang gusto naman nila is yung libre sa milk nilang Lactum 6+ so baka yun na lang at makatipid naman ako. haha.

Teach them early how to handle money... Pero, sundan mo paminsan-minsan pagpasok at baka nawiwiling makipag-cara y cruz sa kanto....

I started to give just last year when she was grade 2 and this was because of peer pressure.

She had a complete baon. Sandwich in the morning, pack lunch and biscuit for merienda. However, her classmates was going once in a while at the canteen buy juices, spaghetti or french fries once in a while but she couldn't since she had no money. So we started to give her 20 pesos a day. She only eats at the canteen once or twice a week so the rest, she just saves.

My kid was in grade 1 last year. complete na din snacks nya with lunch but he was always telling me na yung classmate nya may pambili ng something sa canteen like juices. naawa din ako kaya binibigyan ko na din sya ng pera 10pesos for those small foods.

If your kids aren't asking you money yet, dont give them. But if they started to.. i think its just ok to give them in small amount. that way hindi sila ma sabik sa pera. minsan jan sila natututo magnakaw ng pera e.

We already started giving our son allowance since last year. P40.00 per day na sya this year, pero may dala pa rin snacks. Most of the time, he saves his allowance.

Our eldest son is grade 3 na pero hindi pa rin marunong sa pera. hindi kasi namin siya binibigyan ng baon na pera eversince kasi kumpleto na rin baon. but this year, may gusto siya na juice sa canteen nila at minsan inililibre ng classmate. kaya mula nun binibigyan na namin ng eksatong 13 pesos pambili ng juice. minsan kasi sobra 15 pesos ibinigay hindi kinuha yung sukli kasi hindi alam.
