Children studying and living away from home must receive their allowance on time. Don't let your child go empty-handed or be hesitant to ask for money. You are your child's parent, not an aloof controller; he is your child, not a humble beggar. Giving the allowance on time is the most basic respect for your child. Don't use excuses like "wanting the child to save money" or "wanting to cultivate independence" to justify giving less money or deliberately delaying the transfer. Let me tell you—saving and independence are never cultivated this way. Doing so will only make your child's life difficult, hinder them among peers, and gradually breed insecurity deep inside. A truly healthy and happy parent-child relationship is based on equality, trust, and cooperation, not a hierarchical relationship created by money.
