As is known to us all，almost all Chinese parents give their children pocket money or some of them don't direct their children how spend the money.In my opinion，it is acceptable whether children ask their parents for pocket money since they are not old enough to be independent.But there are some problems worth think about.
For one thing，some children don't spend their pocket money proper.They just buy whenever they like.For another thing，too much pocket money can make harm to the growth of children.
So parents should give our children just the right amount of pocket money.In addition，parents should be aware of the way the money are spent.
