To teach their teen the value of money and its responsibility, the nurse suggests that parents:
a. Provide the teen with an allowance or a bank account
b. Balance the teen's checkbook for him or her
c. Hand out money as requested
d. Maintain the amount of allowance
A
A teen should have an allowance. This will allow the teen to learn how to use money in a responsible way. If parents hand out money as asked, the child will not learn how to save or plan ahead. A teen should have the responsibility of balancing his or her own checkbook. Maintaining the amount of the allowance may not meet the needs of the maturing adolescent.
