How much pocket money wold you give a 11year old?

Question

i have an 8 year old boy and a 11 year old girl they are each getting 1pond a week i think my 11year old girl shoud get more but how much

Answer 1

When I was 12 I got 15 a week ( but I had a jobwalking a neighbors dog, my parents didn't give it to me) they gave me like 20 bucks a month so like 7 a week, but thats cause I put it in the bank not spend it on junk!

Answer 2

Depends on your money. I am 11 and my mom gives me between 20-50 a month. This is for subway, hair cuts, chores, school, emergeceys,etc. One question do you think he is response able? If not give him 10 doallars for 2 weeks and see how he spends it. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

My kids have to work for their spending money.  

Here are my kids & their payable chores (in addition to regular family responsibilities like tidy after yourself, which is NOT payable)

10 yr old girl - laundry $1 per load (She has made a high of $9 per week. This week she was lazy and gets $0)

8 yr old boy - dusting and indoor glass cleaning (not windows)

$1 per chore. He has had a high of $5 in a week.

6 yr old girl - mopping the linoleum with Swiffer = .25 cents per floor (we live in a tiny apartment with 4 small linoleums) Her highest payout has been $2 in a week.

Our kids are learning to keep timesheets and sign payroll receipts when Dad pays them.  There is never a question of honest work for honest pay.

The kids have pooled their money on occaision to buy a toy they all want.

I think it's a good thing.

Answer 15

this depends on the parent.

Answer 16

Well if she does more work then her brother then yes but,if she does the same work then no!!!

Answer 17

It should be contingent on the childs behavior, school effort, how much the child does to pitch in. It should not be a lot in any case. A lot of money in young impressionable hands "can" be a dangerous thing. It should also be made clear up front that it is subject to revocation. You must not allow a child to think that they will go through life with everything or any thing handed to them. Teach them the value of money
