For some parents, when your kids get a little older, helping them to manage money responsibly can be a challenge. To celebrate their FlexOne current account for 11-17 year olds, Nationwide would like to know the ways in which you help your DCs manage their money.

So, is your DC a saver by nature or does spare cash burn a hole in their pocket? Are they always badgering you for extra pocket money, or do you enforce a strict allowance limit?

We’d also really like to hear how your DC compares to you when you were their age – do their spending habits mirror yours when you were young? If your DCs are a little younger, what advice do you plan to give them, or what advice do you wish you could give your younger self when it comes to money management?

Whatever advice you give, post a comment below to be entered into a prize draw where one Mumsnetter will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks,

MNHQ

We have a bank account for Ronan which we out money into every month and when he gets money at Christmas and on his birthday we always take half of it and out it into his bank account too.

Mine have their own bank accounts that has pocket money paid into. When they want big things like phones/computer games I make them save or have it as part of birthday present. If they are really good at the saving and make a proper effort I do add to it to help them.
