Is this a polite amount of allowance for a 12 year feeble?
my daughter is 12 now so I want to start giving her an allowance. Do you think $20 a week is good or is that too little or too much? She is going to be cleaning up the up stairs bathroom and keeping her room verbs.
also how much does your kids get as an allowance and how old are they?
thanks! best answer get 10 points
That sounds similar to alot for 12, I would think 10 per week
i think that 20 is too much at this point
why dont you try doing $1 for every year
so, this year she gets $12, subsequent year $13
maybe it will be good reasoning for her to understand what she's getting
and, if you enjoy other children, you wont have to deal with, "why is he getting more?!"...
hope i can backing
thanks
I give my ten and seven year old both $10 a week for cleaning their rooms and putting away clothes. They both seem to love earn their money and every sunday are excited to get it. Sometimes my oldest will want to earn more money so i will give her an extra chore.
Allowances are so stupid.
My parents never gave us allowances for doing what we were supposed to be doing in the first place approaching cleaning our rooms, doing the dishes, taking out the trash, etc.
Give them money only when needed, that way you won't have to verbs too much on what their spending it on.
Answers: If you really think an allowance is necessary, I'd say no more than $8 a week.
If keeping her room verbs and cleaning a bathroom is all she has to do, 20 bucks is a ton of money.
I'm 17 and my three siblings and I were never given an allowance. Why should we draw from money for doing what's necessary? We are going to need those skills (washing dishes, setting the table, vacuuming, dusting, and keeping rooms clean) as adults. If anything, we should have remunerated our parents for teaching us those life skills!
But if we had gotten an allowance, it would hold been no more than $5.
20 dollars is what i get for cleaning the kitchen/doing the dishes/livingroom/front bathroom.
my little sister is more or less to turn 12 and she gets 5 bucks for keeping her room clean.
sense your daughter is cleaning the bathroom too you should give her 10. 20 is to much.
$20 is too much money.. $80 a month? She could get into trouble with that! $10 a week is suffient to spend at the movies, or out beside her friends.. or she could save it to spend at the mall. I'd up it to $15 a week at age 14, then $20 a week at 16.. provided she still deserves it. Hope this help!
I clean the stairs,bathroom,and my room and I don't get an allowance. $20 is a little bit too much I don`t know you could give her $15.
wow $20 a week? too much for a 12 yr hoary..i never got an allowance from my mom,she said by cleaning our rooms,we were doing what we were supposed to do anyway..because when you attain older,you dont get paid for keeping your house verbs.
My son is 14 and I normally give him $12 a week for allowance. The only time I discharge my son that much is if he helps mow the yard or something big like that.
id go near 10 dollars,kid 13 ten dollars a week,
takes out trash,feeds pets,cleans room. cleans living room,mows lawn once a week sometimes 2 weeks,verbs gameroom
You're doing a good thing instituting an allowance, as it help teach how to manage money, how to save up for something, and give an added sense of grown-up responsibility.
You don't mention where you live, but $20 a week is too much for this age. Make it $10 and then bump it up to $15 when she takes on more responsibility and is elder (15 years old). At that age she can supplement her allowance with babysitting or lawnmowing, etc.
My son gets an allowance of $5 per week, and he is 7 years old. In the U.S. I wouldn't start a child much younger than 7, and no more than $4 or $5 a week. 12 is a upright age to bump it up to $10 per week.
A good tactic (discussed by me and others in other threads) is to put her allowance in a clear jar at the foundation of the week, using $1 bills and quarters, and tying that allowance throughout the week to her behavior and chores. For instance, if she is back-talking, deduct $1 from the jar. If she does something above and beyond, add a quarter. Pay her on Friday in recent times like its a paycheck, and discuss with her that she must save doesn`t matter what percentage you think is appropriate (usually from 20% to 50%). The rest she is free to spend as she chooses on a special purchase - candy, a toy, makeup or nail polish if you allow that - or to save up for something special. Its also biddable if she is a child who wants name-brand clothing. My own parents had limits on what they would remuneration for a pair of shoes, jeans, etc. and if I wanted more expensive versions I have to make up the difference with my allowance and babysitting money.
You will see an interesting side-effect of this: she will be much less naggy give or take a few buying things when it is her own money she has to spend. My son used to ask for this and that at the store whenever we would go (he wasn't really a naggy spoiled kid, but he'd still ask of course). The first time he had to use his own money for it, he thought it over thoroughly carefully and ended up deciding that he really didn't want it as much as he thought!
Good luck! It is so far-reaching to teach our kids how to manage money.
