As above really.
I'm having a discussion at the moment with my wife about how much to give our 6 year old for lost teeth.
She lost her first tooth about 2 months ago and we gave her £1. She lost her second today and I have suggested 50p from now on. My wife thinks I'm being tight!
What is the consensus on what is appropriate? We are average earners, neither breadline nor affluent so it's not a case of what we can afford. Rather it's a case of what is about the right amount that is a treat that isn't spoiling her or devaluing what money is.
In before the '1st world problem' comments. No it's not particularly important, but I'm curious to know if it's me that is out of touch or my wife! I have a history of being Scrooge-like!
So, how much (if anything) do your kids get?

I've been robbed of a childhood 
and as she already had £1 before, make it £1 a time. It's a treat level of cash and she can't exactly go and blow it all down the local emporium on frivolous goodies without taking you anyway.
