" Whether it&amp;#039;s a 5 year old who wants to buy a new Barbie doll or a 12 year old who wants enough money to see a movie with friends, parents don&amp;#039;t appreciate feeling like an ATM machine. Give a child $5 and you&amp;#039;re sure to see them next time they need money. However, inspire them to earn their own money and they&amp;#039;ll learn respect for a dollar and think twice before spending money. If your son or daughter is still too young for a real job, these ideas for making money are not only practical, they&amp;#039;re fun, too.   For the Pet Lover Children who love animals are well suited to make money caring for their own pets, or other pets in the neighborhood. Walking a neighborhood dog before its owners return home in the evening or feeding a family member&amp;#039;s cat while they are out of town are two great ways for children to earn money and learn responsibility.   For the Kid Lover  If your son or daughter is still too young to babysit or to be left home alone with other children, but is a great helper around the house and with kids, consider allowing him or her to be a mother&amp;#039;s helper. Many moms will appreciate an older child to help entertain the little ones, especially during the busiest times of day or on school holidays. It doesn&amp;#039;t pay as well as babysitting, but is a step in the right direction if that&amp;#039;s something that appeals to your little one in the future.   For the Artist or Baker A twist on the classic lemonade stand, capitalize on your child&amp;#039;s talents and interests by letting them set up a bake sale or art stall in the front garden. Frame artwork with Popsicle sticks, bake muffins or brownies together, or print pictures your child took with their digital camera. Be sure to alert family members and close friends to the sale, as they may be your little star&amp;#039;s biggest fans and supporters.   For the Neat Freak Though many families have mixed opinions about whether children should be paid for household chores around the house, this remains a great way to help kids make money when they need it, and it helps mom and dad out, too. In addition, some children like cleaning much more than their parents do. Offer children money for household chores that wouldn&amp;#039;t normally be their responsibility. Vacuuming the house, dusting, cleaning the windows or mowing the lawn are some ideas that might work.   For the Outdoorsy Type Does your son or daughter love sitting outside, hiking, biking, or simply being active in the great outdoors? Car washing is a great way to let kids make money that capitalizes on something they enjoy. Wait for a sunny day, hop into a bathing suit, grab a friend or a sibling, and start washing cars up and down the neighborhood. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
