[QUOTE="ML, post: 110722"] I had to chuckle. My difficult child who is close to your in age used to do something similar. Every time someone came over he would go up to his piggybank and bring down money to give as a gift. He loves giving. He's also very aware that money is power and he's tried to use it to gain influence in his circle of friends. He brings in things that he perceives are of value and gives them to his friends at school. Words spoken that you can't buy friends and true friends like you for who you are, not what you have, seem to fall on deaf ears. I suppose this is a good lesson for your difficult child in learning delayed gratification. Something that is really hard for our kids. Heck a lot of grown-ups have troule with this too [img]:smile:[/img] I think getting him a bank account was a great idea. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
