Guidelines and Resources for Determining Kids’ Allowances

"Teaching kids about the value of money is one of the greatest lessons parents can impart. With a healthy attitude towards money, kids will enter adulthood with the knowledge of smart money management,sensible spending parameters and the importance of saving.There are reports that Malia and Sasha Obama get $1 each for their weekly allowance.
