Money Matters

    Parents should help their children understand money.So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.

    ⒈ The basic function of money

If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员). When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more ways of using money.

    ⒉ Money lessons

    Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. If you must say no to a child's request to spend money, explain, “You have to make a choice between this and that toy.”

    ⒊

    Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product –a name-brand butter and a generic(无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.  If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved.
