My 6 year old just lost her 1st tooth. how much money would you give your child?
Answer:
well to be honest we give $5.00 and they have to put some in the piggy bank and then the other for a small treat! it may seem like a lot but in the end with half being put up its not to much now a days!
$1 seems to be the going rate at my kids' school.
A dollar.
1 dollar, there are more teeth to lose, don't get crazy.
10
I gave my daughter a dollar for every tooth.
$50.00.
my father always gave us $1.00 per tooth we lost.
I believe the going price of a tooth is $1, the tooth fairy has had a raise from a quarter when I was a kid.
Just a dollar or two. Don't create high expectations
well for my children who just lost their teeth last night and last week i give them both $2 and one is 11 years old and the other is 8 years old.
A dollar or 2, she is going to be losing a lot of teeth over the next few years, and you aren't going to want to be giving a lot.
1 or 2 dollars
one gold coin , that's enough she will love it and then when she looses her second tooth she wont expect too much
Maybe five dollars for the first and one for each other.
When I was a child my mother gave me a quarter. Apparently the price of a tooth has gone up because when my oldest lost her first tooth she said how she couldn't wait to get a whole dollar for her tooth. That's what her friends all got. So I give $1 when any of my girls loose a tooth.
give her 50 cents so she can by a little toy or she can have something shine that she likes
One dollar. When you figure all of those precious baby teeth will be coming out soon, then you don't want to break the bank giving her too much. But even at the age of 6 they know that less then a dollar is not all that much. I would get her a piggy bank or a special place to put her tooth fairy money and let her eventually buy something special.
One dollar
i would probably give a $2.00 bill or a couple silver dollars. something a little bit different that the children don't get to see often.
take care! SD
That would depend on the level of understandig your child has of money. Does she understand the value of a dollar? Does she know that if you give me a quarter, and she gets a two dimes and a nickle... does she just know she's got 3 and I've got 1? If she has no idea, then whatever you think she can manage would be fine. But if she knows. then probably a dollar would be ok.
I give my son the amount of money that matches his age, example my son is 6 and has lost 2 teeth and each time I gave him $6.00/tooth. (I grew up getting up to $50.00 for a tooth occasionally, so I may be way out there). I think $1.00 is sufficient. Good luck.
Yes indeed inflation has caused it to go up to $1. If you mess up and accidentally forget (being that that is a big tooth fairy faux pas) it goes up drastically to $2 or even $5 if she's been really busy and ditzy...
5 bucks
Why do people answer this way? What is the question mean? sorry?
5-7 yr old is the best time to train a kid to manage their finance in their life to come. (later on i learn from an expert on kid)
give them 50cents and show them how to manage the money (like do small shopping, how to save money, etc) and you can add more cents to encourage them.
Also be watchful, the kid might use money on something that is not helpful for the future, then you just have damaged him.
Maybe accidentally, when i was 5 yr old, my mom often asked me to buy small grocery from her, and got cents in rewards.
I build up my interest in money from that age. And i love my career as a banker 20 years later.
A dollar is good.
I gave each of my 2 daughters $1.00 for each tooth that they pulled or whatever. Of course they are also 18 & 20 now but I still think a dollar is plenty to give! I got a quarter when I was growing up but things were a lot different then!!
she is six- give er six bucks, seven- seven bucks, etc.
1$ oh and my dad/mom always left a not, i luved dat! just dont ever forget, my parents DID that to, but wit my lil sis, and i woke up at 2 in da morning and ended up doin it 4 them
WOW you guys had it good. we only got quarters.
nowadays, i'd say a $1 a tooth. if i had children that's what i'd give.
A dollar or two. Depending on how well the tooth was cared for.
By the way for future reference tell her that the better she takes care of her teeth, the more money she might get.
