Allowance for a 4 yr old?

How much do/did you give your 4 yr for allowance? Did you give it to them monthly or weekly? Did you put it in a bank account, or piggy bank?
I want to start giving my daughter more responsibility with her money, (up until now she just gets our pocket change) I just don't know where to start.

i bribe him with a dollar here and there to clean his room or pick up toys from the living room.. thats it though. i dont have a piggy bank though it just goes up on the fridge so he sees how much he has, and then before we goto walmart or something ill ask him if he wants to go spend it

We don't really do an allowance yet, but she has a "good job jar". It is a mason jar that we fill with pom poms whenever she obeys, does her chores, etc. When the jar is full, she gets to go to the dollar store and buy herself something. So, it ends up being around a dollar a week  

Absolutely nothing lol. Whatever is in her piggy bank is money she gets from birthdays or something and the loose change he finds around the house.

My kids don't get allowance (3&5) when they get money I show them where we put it and when we get "enough" I tell them different things they can do. But we just prefer to reward good behavior and "chore" doing with special things like movies or mini golf.
If we were it would be something like a 1/ wk

I never got an allowance. ever.

My 3 year old, however steals all my change and her uncles and puts it in her piggy bank lol

i dont give my kids allowance. I buy them certain things or a treat for special things they do. but they are still too young yet. They dont know the meaning of money and getting it doesnt excite them. Plus i dont really want to teach my kids that they need to be paid to do stuff around the house. they should just do it to help out. WHen i do start giving them allowance it'll prob be once every couple weeks and it'll be just to give them money since they cant work for it yet. haha

I would wait a little longer to do allowance, personally.

Put coins/dollars in a jar every time she does something or good or kind.

I think 4 years old is too young for an allowance. However I do sometimes bride DD (she is 4) with money to clean up her toys but I only do that about once a month

Quoting Andi+Andy=Marley+1:" I think 4 years old is too young for an allowance. However I do sometimes bride DD (she is 4) with money to clean up her toys but I only do that about once a month"

I can only bribe with candy...Money means nothing to my kids yet and they are 3 1/2 and almost 7. haha

My son (4) gets $1-$3 here an d there from me, his aunt, my mom and dad and his godmom when "helping us" with chores like help wash the car, laundry, clean his room, pick up toys, basically anything were doing that he wants to help with. Most of the time he makes more of a mess than help but it teaches him to work for his $.

Well thanks for all the responses ladies  
I'm not big on rewarding for her regular chores, I think chores are just part of being a family. I do 'pay' her for bigger tasks things though, like helping to rake the lawn. We've had trouble with her not paying attention to her things, and me replacing them, over and over. I was hoping by giving her an allowance, she would start to understand the cost, or take more care of her things because she bought them.
She used her pocket change to buy markers today, since she left all the caps off and the old ones dried out, and she is so happy and proud of herself now.

pretty much how i feel about it!
(funny)

we do allowance - a quarter or fifty cents here and there- when she does something above and beyond her normal chores. it goes in her piggy bank.

My 4 year old son gets $3 a week for certain tasks like helping load/unload the dishwasher, helping load/unload the washer and dryer, helping fold laundry throughout the week. Tasks he is expected to do simply to take responsibility for himself are picking up his toys, picking up his room, putting his laundry away, clearing his dishes and feeding his fish. He has a glass jar on the counter in the kitchen that his allowance goes into as well as spare change we divi up between him and his sister.

It's proven to be very effective and he takes a lot of pride in it. I've given him the option a few times to spend some but he likes to save it. Once the jar is full it goes into his savings account.
