Parents can send their kids money directly through Google Wallet now.

A new feature allows parents to add money to their kids’ linked Google Wallet balance, which kids can use for tap-to-pay purchases. Parents can also see their kids’ transaction history, set a daily spending limit, remotely lock / unlock the account, and have the option to get spending notifications.
