i intend to give him some coins to add up to $1.50 even though food will be catered during recess for p1. just in case he needs money to purchase stationery or drink or make phonecall.

My daughter will be going to P1…planning to give her 50 cents everyday since I will be packing her recess everyday. Told her to save up the money and not buy unnecessary things like erasers.


Son has $2 as the food sold in his school canteen tend to be more ex…told him to control buying unnecessary things from the bookshop too.

For my P1 girl, I intend to give her $2 to $2.50 a day. Need to monitor for a month or so. If she's not eating much (fussy), I may cut her pocket money to $1 and pack snack for her instead

My elder one needs $3 a day because she consumes 2 plates of rice plus side dishes. She has a huge appetite

I give my dd $1 and 510c to call me. cos she dont have H.phone. not every day but if she make a call to me or buy any drink/food I just replace them.

In the start of p1 I gave her 2$ + 510c but she started to buy unwanted stuff from bookshop( eg stickers, erasers etc etc). In the end of P1 she got friends and they play during the break.

How old is your DS and how much are you giving him right now? Do you give him on a daily basis or weekly basis?

Hi, like to seek advice in this topic...

my DS had been paying for his schoolmate food during recess..
need advice on how should I handle this problem.

Why is he doing that? Is he being forced to? Or does he feel sorry or his schoolmate? Or is he being generous? How come he can afford to pay for 2? What you say to him and what you can do will depend on the reason.
