Kids and Money

All young people like to have their own money, so they can go out with their friends or buy new things. Most American kids get a little money from their parents every week, but often it's not enough. So it's very common for kids to get more money by doing some kind of work in their neighborhood.

A lot of girls take care of babies or young children for money. Even very young girls, about 12 or 13 years old, can do this kind of work. Often they take care of their neighbors' children. They usually give the children dinner, play with them, and tell them to take a bath. Finally, they tell the children to go to bed. But often children don't want to go to sleep, so this is the hardest part!

Some boys take care of children, too, but it's more common for them to do yard work. For example, in the summer they can cut the grass and in the spring they can clean up the garden. A lot of American houses have a front yard and a back yard, so there's always a lot of yard work. There's also lots of work around the house, like washing windows.

Most American parents think that working for money is good for kids. They say it teaches them the importance of work and how to use their own money.
