 In American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects even if they are wealthier.

But  41  are children expected to compare with the richer  42  a large family, heavy responsibilities, or other conditions make it  43  to give a child less spending money than is customary（惯例的）in the neighborhood.

 44  the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by the  45 , because a child learns to use money correctly only through  46  it himself. If a seven-year-old child gets a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to  47  it up, he gets no idea what the  48  use for the money is.

He will be saving, earning, and spending  57  quantities all along in order to learn how to  58  money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friends. The boy who can’t join his fellows in sweet shops  59  he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown project his parents have been chosen for him, is a  60  child.
