It has always been my intention to help our children understand the value of money.
I have 3 boys of my own ranging in age from 9 through to 15. And it has always amazed me how they each have a completely different attitude towards money from each other.
My oldest son, has always thought, “I have $20, what can I buy?”, where as the younger two would think, “I have $20, If I buy … for $12 I would only have $8.00 left.” Where do our children learn these things?
As such I have created this website & the eBook “What They Dont Get Taught At School!’, to help not only other parent’s, but also myself on easy & practical ways to help teach our children about money.
There are two trains of thought when we think about children and money. One is “How children can make money” & the other, which is my focus, is to focus on our childrens attitude towards money.
I firmly believe it is better to teach a child about the value of money than to teach them about how to make money. Because, unless they have a better appreciation of the value of money, they will simply waste it as they start to earn it.
We must teach them to save and spend money wisely.
