Creative Writing P.6
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 an allowance as a reward for completing chores or when they have behaved properly. Explain what you think parents should do.
Children should be able to receive an allowance on the conditions of good behavior. This shows children that behavior affects everything you do and determines what you receive. It also teaches student how it feels to spend and manage their own money. Receiving an allowance is a privilege not a right and parents have to teach their child that everything is to be earned. Nothing is just given to you.
When a child isn’t behaving properly or isn’t doing well in school they shouldn’t receive an allowance of any sort because it teaches them that it’s ok to behave unaccordingly. When parents do this they are only hindering their children. Also, they are spoiling their children. Once the child grows up and has to face the real world they won’t be prepared because their parents didn’t set a good example for them.
In all, an allowance is to be given to children that behave properly. Also it is to be given to children that dose what they are told. If a parent rewards bad behavior it will only hinder the child and teach them the wrong things.
