Sorry I am late again. Here's this weeks prompt;
Many parents give children a weekly or monthly allowance regardless of their behavior because they believe an allowance teaches children to be financially responsible. Other parents only give children allowance as a reward for completing chores or when they have behaved properly. Explain what you think parents should do and why.
In my opinion, parents give their children too much. If a child is rude and irresponsible he/she should not be given a reward. That just tells them that they can do whatever they want. Yes, you are trying to teach them how to be responsible with money; but do you think that if they can't keep their behavior in track they will act responsibly with their money?
Also, parents go overboard on how much they give for allowance. Children do not need a ton of money every week/month. They don't need to buy a car. Just enough money to buy a little something extra. If they act responsibly it will add up in plenty of time.
In the future, when I have a family of my own, I plan on giving my children a reasonable weekly allowance. If they do extra chores they will receive more. I don't want to spoil my kids or make them think they can do whatever they want. I want them to be responsible.
