Parents should make a ‘contract’ with their children before giving them pocket money to teach them to spend responsibly.

Parents should make a ‘contract’ with their children before giving them pocket money to teach them to spend and save wisely.An effective lesson in spending is creating a “contract” with your children regarding pocket money , according to Sinead.“You sit down your kids and you say here's what you're now responsible for paying for – it could be sweets, it could be treats, it could be phone credit.

“If they blow it all - they're guaranteed to do that the first time you give them pocket money – you don’t dig them out,” she said. “You can't do that if you go to your employer and say, ‘I spent all of my wages on the first day, can I have a bump?’.Sinead suggested parents could agree to “top up” their children’s savings if they have been responsible as a further incentive to learn about money.The introduction of cashless spending, according to Sinead, has made it harder for children to understand money.
