The answer

You can open a bank account for each child, observing fairness between them, with the male receiving the share of two females. If you need some money, you can take from it, observing fairness and distribution, with the male receiving the share of two females. The zakat on this money must be observed every year, and it should be deposited in a bank that does not deal with usury, if possible.
