Give your children all their holiday spending money at the beginning of the holiday. Tell them they must look after it and there will be no more to come. [You may have to act as banker if they are very little] I found that they really enjoyed this responsibility and rose to the challenge of working out their daily budget. It is then up to them to decide how to spend it or save it and stops them constantly pestering you for cash.
