That was what my parents did and it established the correct pattern in my life. I remember how good I felt taking my pennies in to the ward clerk to pay my tithing as a kid. We were taught to take the tithing out of any cash we received for any reason the moment we got it then take it to church with us the very next sunday.
I remember a visiting authority telling our stake that the number one thing that keeps people from having a recommend is tithing, so I feel strongly that we need to start very young with our kids so it becomes automatic for them and teach them how to gain a personal testimony of it when they get a little older.
