Last weekend Kū had another visit to the Dentist. When the procedure was over he was allowed to pick a toy from the drawer. There was a lot of things to choose from, tattoos, stickers, toy cars, army men, etc. But to my surprise, he chose a pack of play money. He said now he can learn about "Big Money" since he knows all his coins. The fact that at the age of 5 he is eager not just to be able to play with the "play money" but knows that he can also learn from it makes me very proud.
There are simple things we can do to teach our children about money. Allow them to help you compare prices when you are at the store, show them different denominations as you pay for things at the store. They may make your trip last a little longer than youʻd like, but the lessons your children will learn will be well worth the time.
