Parents may give their children a relatively small amount of money on a recurring basis, such as $5 every weekend. Some parents will encourage the money be deposited into a bank account to earn interest for post-secondary education, others will say the child can spend it any way they see fit.

Some parents may take money off an allowance based on behavior, such as 10 cents for anything their child does that a parent sees as an act of negative behavior.
Some parents use chores and allowances to teach kids about responsbility and earning money.
