DS turned 4 in October. We don't buy toys other than birthdays and Christmases and he's desperate for a Lego set advertised at the back of one of his Christmas presents, so I'm wondering about starting pocket money with him and teaching him about saving up.
DH and I had always expected to link pocket money to household chores, so I suppose my question splits into four parts:
- is 4 old enough to understand pocket money?
- if so, what sort of chores would you expect them to do to earn their money?
- how much would be a reasonable amount?
- how would you help 4yo 'track' his chores and savings?
Thank you!
