There’s an increased awareness of consumerism (think fashion and electronic gadgets and wanting to keep up with their friends), and the increased need for access to cash (be it pocket money or earnings) to spend on socialising and shopping. And while they will learn valuable lessons through making mistakes with money, as their parent you can help to minimise their mistakes and instead empower them to see the true value of being financially free.
