I found this fabulous website that helps parents teach children about money step by step.
It's never too early to teach your kids about money and wise spending. This website breaks down age appropriate activities and advice for your little (and not so little kids).
Example:
In the 3-5 age category the first step is:
TEACHING THAT YOU NEED MONEY TO BUY THINGS:
Activities include:
Identify coins and their value.
Discuss how you may value something that
is free, such as playing with a friend.
Identify items that cost money, such as ice
cream, gas for the car, or clothes.
Sounds like some great family night lessons in there.
Ethan definitely needs this lesson about money. He thinks we can buy anything we want. If there is money in his piggy bank that should be enought, right? Sounds like a great FHE lesson! Thanks Melissa!
