Answer #9

Like $15 a week is good enough.

Answer #10

No more than she needs during the day.

Answer #11

$10 a week is suitable for a 12 year old girl. Every other week she will earn $20. It’s a good way to limit her from overspending on unimportant things. As a mother, you provide her with her needs. She must be capable of saving up for her wants. You can give her extra tips when she helps out with chores too. Some people like going by the age rule. Whatever age the child is, is the pocket money they get. If the child is 6, he’d get $6. That’s also reasonable. $10 is neither too little or too much so it’d get a child thinking of what they really want or want to save up for. These days with the new games coming out every year, children are getting influenced. I think it’s a great way for her to be in control of her pocket money starting at a young age.

Answer #12

per diem

Answer #13

course you would say that being 14 lol

Answer #14

$5 - $10 a week, depending on what she’d need it for. As her mother you’ll be paying for her necessities anyways, so there’s no real need for her to have more.

Answer #15

Pocket money versus allowance, it seems. Pocket money = $15 But if she has saved allowance or from work, it’s her choice, but talk to her about responsible spending. You will not bail her out if she goes crazy.

Answer #16

im 13 and i think a reasonable amount is 10-15 dollars a week, extra if she does chores and helps out with siblings, dishes, ect.
