Children's Allowance

I advice every parent to teach their children about money. When they be seven or eight years they can start taken allowance, after that they will be more responsebley about their money. If they start learning young what is mening of their own pocket money, they will be sure what they going to do with it. For example my kids now they start saveing there allowance, because they have every things they needed, so they think that is no need to spen their allowance, and they can keep it for something they realy want it. I'm happy because now they undersand where and when to spen their money.

Mail To Anne

Dear Anne,
How are you doing this week? I hope that you had fun with your family last weekend as you were planning to.
Today I got my son's school report, what about you? And I'm planning to schedule time for the PT interview. This kind of meeting gives the chance to parents to know more about their children's progress in the school. Last year, I met my son's teacher, and she told me more about his marks, how he's doing in each subject, and what his weaknesses and strength's, all of that which give me a better idea about him. It was useful to both of us, as I know when to encourage him at home. And I had a good time meeting parents in this interview. So I'm planning to schedule time next week, hope to see you there.

Best Regards
Lamia

My Life in Canada

I'm housewife. I have 2 kids, a girl, 7 years old, and a boy, 11 years old.
I was born in Kuwait and my kids were too, we used to live there before we come to Canada.
I used to work there and I hope to find a job here as well, but I hope to find a job that matches with my kid's schedule.
