Here, it is 5 dollars a week. If the child is not of age to understand money, we are supposed open a bank account for the child and we have to submit a form monthly along with deposit slip. If the child has an understanding, we are supposed to open an account and when child undeserving of an allowance in hand for that week, we deposit the funds in there. The childen are supposed to sign for their allowance.
Personally, I will be putting money in their accounts and giving allowances.
If I give a five year old $5, I expect him/her to want to buy junk whenever we go to Wal-mart. No biggie!  I see it as a chance for a learning experience for them...rationale/problem-solving, mathematical, budgeting
