Hello everyone! We love our kids. Kids have a lot of needs. When we were kids we also had need of many things. Our parents served us when we need any thing good for us. A kid demands till he become self dependent. The demands of kids are not same for each. Demands also change with growing up. At the early age naturally kids are attracted to sweets, chocolates, chips etc.
Though all these are unhealthy for health, parents can't deny to buy these foods. But parents rarely give allowance to their child. I think it is unnecessary to give money to the child. When I was child my father bade my mom to give me money. He believed that giving money to children would change their natural habits. It will become bad habit to take money regularly from parents. And if it turns to bad habit it will destroy their future. So my father didn’t like to give me money. He bought for me foods or toys which I lieked. But never gave me money.
I saw many child whom are given money from their childhood. They can't change their habit of spending money. All of them were from rich families. They during tiffin period ate rich foods from food shop where most of the students took their tiffin from home. Morover they bought some expensive uncommon things like a beautiful stylish pen, diary or magnetic games etc. that surprised other students who were not eligible to buy those things. They looked at those things and thought if they could buy but their parents had not the ability to buy. Sometimes school students of a same class who were given allowance from their parents went on tour far from their residence.
It was too risk for them without any guardians they visited long distance. I noticed that the students who are given allowance they become arrogant and stay separate from others. Only those who receive pocket money form a group among themselves. They thougt themselves that they were very smart than others. I never see that an well educated person give allowance to their kids except tiffin bill. Parents who made money after a hard labour they know the value of money. They want that their children also feel the harsh reality of life that earn money is not an easy task. So they hardly give allowance to their children. It is better to teach them to become self dependent. Spend money when they will able to earn will be more honorable for them. We see a lot of kids in our society who are given allowance often addicted into drugs or involve with illigal activities. They often mix with bad company that gradually destroy their future.
This students can't study attentively because their brain are always full of other thoughts. They plan in their mind where they will visit next month or which movie can be watched at their study time. So I don’t find any good side to give allowance to the kids. It is better to buy something good for them which they want. Without giving allowance parents can spend time with their child, can visit with them or can enjoy movie with their kids. It will helpful for their mental development and they will become a good student as well as a good citizen also.
