I have 7 & 8 yr. old girls who I'm going to start allowances for weekly, but how much should I give?

It's been a long time since I gave out allowences but if it is only uses for personal use and lunches or school supplies I would say maybe five ore ten dollars a weekIt would be nice if they saved a little of it as well. Hope my answer isn't behind the times.

Boy did I screw that sentence up! It should read..If it is only used for personal use and not lunches or school supplies I would say......

No punish...only reward. I wish I didn't give allowance...they bought things I didn't like...like music etc.. A chart with stars may help keep track of what they do.

Make a chart with all the chores to be done each day, and assign an amount of money for each. As they do a chore on the list you check it off.At the end of the week you total up their amounts and that is what they earned. That way they will know they have worked hard for their money, and thats it's not just something you give them each week for no real reason.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
