I would be grateful for opinions on this disagreement please! Which do you agree with - A, B or other? Thanks.

A. Give child some pocket money each week with no conditions attached. They get the same amount regardless of how school well school has gone, how many chores they've done etc. They are still encouraged to tidy up and help around the house but it is not rewarded.

B. The child has to earn money. This teaches the child the value of money and that nothing in life comes for free. The amount of pocket money increases/decreases based on good/bad behaviour.

A and B.

Core pocket money for learning to manage money. Can earn more for additional stuff.

Has worked exceptionally well and DD is now an entrepreneur and saver.
