Mum's the word: The giving jar is a saving grace for teaching kids to share

We started giving my daughter, Joan, a weekly allowance on her sixth birthday, two years ago,

It was €2 a week and we also gave her €2 a week to put in a separate pot, the Giving Jar. It was a good age to get her thinking about money and for her to see how €2 saved per week adds up over time.
