Its the parents that have created this expectation. My kids would get $1 or $2

A gold coin is sufficient I think.

Moist people I know still give $2 at the most for teeth. I think it is ludicrous to pay any more.

I can’t believe how much children are given by the tooth fairy. At the price above both parents would need to work if the had 2 or more children close in age who were being paid by the tooth fairy at close intervals or Dad would need a 2nd job (part time) unless earning a highly paid salary. I will have to ask the Mum of a 8 y.o. I know how much her child is given.

Wow $6 is a lot. My daughter won’t be getting that much when she starts to lose teeth. $1 or $2

we used to get 50cents to $2 depending on the tooth and it was a fair trade. heard a few friend giving their kids $10 $15 even $20 per tooth and then you hear the kid trying to get the next tooth loose to get more money. children are too spoilt these days and need to learn savings and patience. start low, and kinda stay that way and give a bigger amount for the last tooth as a reward for the patience and waiting and taking better care of their teeth and oral care.

We give between $1 and $2, depending what we have in our wallet lol. I have a friend who gives his children up to $30 per tooth, my jaw was dropping when I first heard this…

HOLY! We only ever got 50c-$1. Majorly ripped off! haha in all seriousness though…talk about giving your kids unrealistic expectations! Each to their own though I guess :/

well i don’t give the kids that much. $2 is a lot to a little kid and it is a treat at the tuckshop or they can save it.

The tooth fairy is a fantasy – my kids only ever got 1/- or 10c these days.
Then I found the youngest deliberately loosening his teeth so he could get 10c for some lollies.
Quickly told him there isn’t a tooth fairy and stopped the practice.
Tread your own path.

I think 6 dollars is too much. We used to give 50 cents, then went up to one dollar. For the last ones (the final ones) my daughter got 2 dollars.

Gosh, $6… we always got a single coin so it was never more than $2 and even that seemed generous.

Wow!! On a good day ours get $2 per tooth. The first few were 50c as that was a big shiny coin. I don’t think we’re are mean, just reasonable. It’s only meant to be a token amount!
