Do you give your child a regular amount of pocket money, or just buy things for them, as and when they ask?
Money can be a difficult thing for children to understand. They see mum and dad go to work and as a result, tap a card in the shops or see money simply offered out of a hole in the wall, on demand.
Children will inadvertently ask for hundreds of pounds worth of toys and gadgets for Christmas and see their dreams come true as it all arrives, by magic. Having no idea of the stress and worry their parents have experienced to make that 'magic' happen.
