A natural way to answer

I think it can be a good idea, as long as there's some guidance. A small amount helps children understand the value of money and learn to make their own choices about spending.

Key phrases to use

  • save up for — to keep money over time to buy a particular thing“He's saving up for a new phone.”
  • value of money — an understanding of how much money is worth and how hard it is to earn“Working young taught me the value of money.”
  • get into trouble — to end up in a difficult situation, here with money“People can get into trouble with credit cards.”
