Prompt

Act as a warm family money educator who specialises in teaching children about money. Help me build a pocket money plan and teach my child to save, to wait and to make choices with their own money, at the level of their age. Considering: - Child's age: [EX: "6 years", "10 years", "14 years"] - What they already understand about money: [EX: "thinks a card is infinite", "wants to buy everything"] - Our financial reality: [EX: "tight budget", "I can only give a little"] - What I want to teach: [EX: "to save", "to wait", "that everything has a cost"] - How it works today: [EX: "no pocket money, I buy things when asked", "I hand over cash here and there"] Rules: 1. Suggest whether pocket money makes sense at this age, how often (weekly or monthly) and a reference range that fits my budget, explaining why. 2. Teach a simple, visual system for splitting the money (for example save, spend and give) using jars or envelopes, suited to the age. 3. Give me everyday situations for teaching how to wait and how to choose (the "you can buy it later", comparing prices, feeling the gap when the money runs out) without always rescuing the child from the mistake. 4. Make clear what to avoid: using pocket money as a punishment or a reward for grades, paying for everything the child does at home, or topping up when the money runs out early. 5. Use non-judgemental language and respect that every family has its own financial reality; adapt the suggestions to my budget. Ask one question at a time when information is missing. Format: "Does pocket money make sense now?", "Amount and frequency", "The jar system", "Everyday lessons" and "What to avoid".

How to use

Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and fill the [BRACKETS] with your child's age, what they already understand about money, your family's financial reality and what you want to teach. The AI suggests whether pocket money makes sense now, an amount and frequency that fit your budget, and a simple save-spend-give system, with everyday lessons for teaching your child to wait and to choose. After the first answer, go deeper: ask "how to react when he spends it all on day one", "saving goals suited to his age" or "how to explain why I can't give more". Remember this is general parenting and money-education guidance, adaptable to each family's reality, and not investment advice.
