We live in a commercial society. Everything that we use is merchandise. In the commercial world the media is money. Therefore, money is very important to us. Earning money and spending money are big problems not only to the s but also to the kids.
Kids have a long way to go in their lives. What they will be depend on the influence that they get before the age of 20. We must give them positive influence during their childhood.
We should give a kid a little money when he is 9 years old. For instance, we can give a kid 10 yuan ry month, and ask him to write us a report on how he uses the money. This can give him a right idea of how he should use the money.
We also should give the kids some chances to earn money, by which means we can show them that earning money is not easy, and they should spend the money carelly.
The most important point is that we must tell the kids that money is not rything in our lives. There are lots of things that we can not buy with money, such as health and love.
Consequently, the best we could do to provide the kids with a correct understanding of money is let them approach money closely. We should give a little money to the kids and tell them what money is at all.

父母应该给孩子零花钱吗?
我们生活在商业社会。我们用的每样东西部是商品。商品领域的媒介是金钱。所以钱对我们来说很重要。挣钱和花钱，不论是对于成年人，还是小孩子，都是两个很重要的问题。
孩子们需要走的生活道路很长。他们最终会是什么样子，依赖于他们在20岁之前所受到的影响。在童年时代，我们一定要给他们好的影响。
当孩子到九岁的时候，我们可以给他们一点钱。比如说，每月给他十块钱并要求他门面汇报这些钱是怎样花的。这可以教会他怎样正确地花钱。
我们还可以给孩子提供挣钱的机会。这可以告诉他们挣钱是不容易的，应当节俭。
最重要的是，我们应该告诉孩子们钱不是万能的。还有很多东西，像健康和爱，是金钱不能代替的。
因此，要让孩子们对钱有一个正确的认识，最好的办法就是让他们同钱密切接触。我们应该给孩子们一点钱并告诉他们钱到底是什么。
