THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO ARGUE IF CHILDREN DESERVE NOT TO BE PROVIDED WITH ALLOWANCES BY THEIR PARENTS BECAUSE IT CAN MAKE CHILDREN GO IN A NEGATIVE DIRECTION WHERE THEY START SPENDING MONEY ON ASPECTS SUCH AS DRUGS, INTOXICATIONS, ETC. FOR EXAMPLE, IN MANY PARTS OF INDIA, YOUNG CHILDREN FROM RICH BACKGROUNDS HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY ADDICTED TO DRUGS AND VARIOUS OTHER INTOXICATS.
ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT ESSENTIAL CASH SUPPORT TO YOUNG CHILDREN TOGETHER WITH OTHER POCKET MONEY HELP YOUNG CHILDREN ENJOY VARIOUS EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS PURSUING THEIR HOBBIES AND INTEREST AREAS. FOR EXAMPLE, PARENTS’ CASH ASSISTANCE HELPS CHILDREN BUY EQUIPMENT FOR THEIR FAVORITE SPORTS.
PARENTS EDUCATED AND AWARE OF THEIR CHILDREN’S STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES ACT AS THE BEST ADVISORS NOT ONLY IN THEIR PERSONAL LIFE BUT ALSO IN THEIR ACADEMIC AND CAREER-RELATED MATTERS. IT IS PRECISELY FOR THIS REASON THAT CHILDREN IN CITIES AND DEVELOPED COUNTRIES WITH EDUCATED PARENTS ARE ABLE TO REACH A PERFECT PROFESSIONAL GOAL FOR THEMSELVES. THERE ARE PARENTS WHO ARE NOT ONLY ACTIVELY DELIGHTED BY THEIR PASSIONS AND CAREERS, BUT ACT AS MENTORS AND THEIR CHILDREN’S INITIAL TRAINING IS CARRIED OUT AS AN APPRENTICE.
FOR EXAMPLE, IT IS A VERY COMMON EXPERIENCE IN MANY WESTERN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES AS WELL AS IN LARGE CITIES IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WHERE CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WORK IN THEIR PARENTS’ OFFICES OR AS EMPLOYEES WHERE THEY GET FIRST-HAND EXPOSURE AND PRACTICAL TRAINING OF THE WORK LIFE IN A SYSTEMATIC WAY. IT NOT ONLY EXPANDS THEIR HORIZON BUT MAKES THEM LEARN REALITIES OF LIFE AT A VERY EARLY AGE.
THE FACT FOLLOWS THAT PARENTING MAKES OR DESTROYS A CHILD’S PROSPECTS FOR A BETTER AND BRIGHTER FUTURE ON THE POSITIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE SIDE OR ME ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE. PEOPLE EVERYWHERE HAVE THEIR SHARE OF POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES, BUT ULTIMATELY THEY ARE A PRODUCT OF THE BREEDING THEY RECEIVED YEARS AGO THAT MAKES THEM PRESENT IN FRONT OF TODAY’S WORLD.
CAN I SAY THAT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF YOUNG CHILDREN AND PROVIDE THEM WITH BASIC POCKET MONEY TO NOT ONLY MEET THEIR ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS BUT ALSO DISCOVER THEIR RESPECTIVE AREAS OF INTEREST IN SPORTS, HOBBIES, ACADEMIC ETC.
