Hello. This is my first post so please be gentle!
My DD, who is 15 has recently got herself a job, which at first I was thrilled about. It's in the local ice cream van, she works 8 hours per week and for this receives £30.
However, 6 weeks into the job and she has nothing to show for it. She has more or less been using the money to go to MacDonalds or buy sweets and juice for sleepovers here and at friends' houses.
When I try to encourage her to use her money more productively, you can imagine the generic teenage response I get.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I could encourage her to either save or use her money more productively? TIA.
