I think kids really DO value things more when it’s THEIR money rather than what they were handed. We learned that when we gave them spending money on vacations–the way to find out if they REALLY wanted the trinket was to remind them they they held it in their hand whether to buy or not buy X or Y. We ended up with a lot fewer dust collectors. :)
