Some families give pocket money to their children so that they can buy the
things they need during the week. Discuss the advantages and
disadvantages of pocket money.
With the development of our modern society, people's living conditions
become much more comfortable. But along with intense competition,
parents have less time to consider children’s needs in all-round. One method
to solve this contradiction is to give children some pocket money. Pocket
money is useful to children. However, the question is whether children are
careful enough to make correct use of this money. There are two viewpoints
about the pocket money. Some people think that giving children pocket
money will make them become luxurious. Others think that will not lead to
such disadvantage. In my opinion, both views are partially reasonable.
Some people believe that giving children pocket money really has many
advantages. With pocket money, children can buy their daily necessities
such as pencils, little toys, and snack food they like. It will give children a
certain freedom to select what they want, make them aware of the rules of
the equivalent exchange. Since time is very precious to parents, giving
pocket money to children helps them to save time spent in shopping, and
use it to earn more money.
On the other hand, some others insist that there are undoubtedly some
disadvantages in spending pocket money. First, young children do not know
how to use pocket money appropriately. They possibly consume all the
money to buy expensive merchandise that they like, and then ask their
parents for extra money. Some parents spoil their children and always give
them a large amount of pocket money. Such conditions will make children
become more and more lavish in spending money. Second, since adults do
not supervise the procedure of shopping, children could probably buy
something that is not suitable for their age, such as adult magazines.
Judging these two viewpoints mentioned above, I think that parents should
give their children a limited amount of pocket money. There are some
preconditions: the amount of pocket money must be finite; parents should
instruct their children how to use the money moderately and what is suitable
to them. Also, for costly merchandise, parents themselves should take
children to buy it. With these preconditions, pocket money will do no harm
to children.
