American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects,even if they are wealthier .But neither are children expected with the richer if a large family,heavy responsibilities,or other conditions make it necessary to give a child less spending money than is customary in the neighborhood.
Whatever the pocket mongy is,its entire use is not controlled by the parents,because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself.If a seven-year-old child gets a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy coins and they soon disapper.The idea of a bank account is too early for so small a child,although he can be made to understand and edjoy saving his coins---not all of them,only a part of what he receives---to buy something he especially wants.By the time he is eight old enough to make part in the opening of his own savings account.Parents may take him to yhe bank,open a savings account for him,and encourage hie to put a certain quantity of any checks he receives as gifts into the bank and watch his bank savings grow as entry is made.He will be saving,earning,and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how to manage money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friends.The boy who can not join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while,because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big nukonwn porject have chosen for him,is a sorry child.
