Question

14．Parents have widely different views on the problem of pocket money．Four new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered．
Ashish Khanna：Although many argue that pocket money helps develop children's sense of value，I don't agree．I wouldn't give my child any pocket money．First of all，I never got pocket money and I seem to have a good value for money．If my child ever needed something and I felt it was a reasonable（合理）request，I would buy it for him．
Sharad Sanghi：No，I wouldn't give my child pocket money because I don't want to create the perception（观念） of"her"money and"my"money．Besides，if I refuse to buy her something that I think is bad for her，she may buy it with her pocket money on the sly．In this way，I would lose control over my child's requests．I feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else．I don't want my child to start judging（评判） other children by the amount of money or pocket money they have．
Rakesh Shah：Yes，I would give my child pocket money．I feel that children should learn to spend money intelligently and not go overboard spending．They will learn what their limitations（限制）are and feel the difficulty when they have to pay for something that is over their own pockets．
Rajiv Patel：Yes，I would give my child pocket money because it is important that she learns to manage money．I will give her a fixed amount every month and if she spends the money before the month is over，then she will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely．
Vikram Desai：Yes，I would certainly give my child pocket money．But I would not give it to him on a weekly or monthly basis．He would have to earn it．If he helped me finish some of my jobs or helped his mother with housework，I would reward him．This helps him realize that"money does not grow on trees"and it requires hard work to earn money．
