Final exam part 3
Other story:
All across America every day, kids are paid allowances for good behavior, good grades, chores, or other reasons. Unfortunately, allowances shelter kids and give them the idea that they will always have a steady supply of money.
Children should always be on their best behavior and working their best, and allowances teach them that the only reason to be on good behavior is for money. Giving allowances is not a good parenting technique because sometimes, kids are rewarded for literally nothing at all. Allowances for chores or especially difficult/rewarding tasks are good because it teaches kids that really hard work pays off, but allowances for other things should not be automatically granted.
As a parent, it’s important to teach kids to provide for themselves and to always work their hardest, not just for material things like money, but also the internal accomplishment people feel after doing something that challenged them.
In addition to that, an important lesson in life is how to handle money responsibly. If allowances are being spent on pointless things, then kids never learn how to spend thoughtfully. They become so centered on toys or fun things, that they don’t learn the difference or balance between treats and necessities.
As kids grow older, they all go through the important transition of finding work. Working on their own teaches them to have their own self-accomplishment and to make their own money, which prepares them for the future. Getting allowances diminishes that importance and leaves kids unprepared for the future of college and their careers.
When kids are paid for making good grades, they aren’t focusing on their education. They’re focusing on what they can buy by making straight A’s. Once again, this doesn’t make them feel proud of themselves, and puts the focus on greediness. This does not prepare them for college, and might even make them fail out because they don’t get money for education. In fact, they’re spending it. This makes them feel like they didn't do well in college, and bad and good grades start to mean the same thing because they aren't getting paid for good grades. Obviously, their parents won't pay them for good grades in college, so what will they do?
If kids don't receive an allowance, they learn to reward themselves for making good grades or other accomplishments. They learn to be proud of themselves without caring if other people are proud of themselves too. This prepares them well for later life, and sets them up to be determined. It also makes them set goals for themselves and work even harder.
In conclusion, parents do a lot for kids, and don’t need to give allowances. In this society, it’s important for kids to learn the value of hard work and how to provide for themselves. Parents should be more focused on teaching their kids good morals rather than giving them mall money.
