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

6yo na panganay ko and grade 1 na. i don't know if i should give him money already. may dala naman syang baon (biscuits, etc.) for snack during recess.

sa mga parents, when did you (or do you plan to) give money to your kid(s) as their allowance in school?

ako pagkaalala ko prep(1988-89) pa lang may baon na akong pera (parang 5 pesos ata), pero may baon pa din akong pagkain. Pang bili ng ice popsies.

dat way pwede mo sila maturuan kaagad na mag ipon at para hindi sila masabik sa pera.

kahit gaano kabata pwede kaagad sila turuan.

Bigyan mo nang pera pang baon pero bigyan mo din sya nang alkansya. Yung nahuhulog nya dun tumbasan mo or pakita mo sa kanya kailangan nya magtabi nang pera para kung may gusto sya bilhin laruan may pambili sya.

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.
