Upper primary would normally eat 2 meals in school and have about 2 drinks other than his usual plain water. It should come up to be about $4 every day. I will choose to give $30, slightly more than the amount estimated to be spent so that my child will know what it feels like to be tempted to spend the extra, and what it feels like to be able to control her desires. I will choose to let her manage her own money (guide her along the way) and encourage her to save. At the end of a term she will be rewarded by her own money to pick a gift for herself.
