"You should give them a weekly allowance that has the sole purpose of teaching your child about money management. Most kids want everything they see. But if they have a finite amount to spend, they learn quickly about impulse-buy regret, saving, and being thoughtful about purchases,” says developmental psychologist Bronwyn Charlton, co-founder of the Seedlings Group.

The donate jar comes into play once kids are eight and older. Charlton recommends that parents use it to get their children excited about tangible ways they can help others in need.
