Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money. 31 So you may start talking
about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for
example.
1. The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for
goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he
wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money
to the cashier(收银员). 32 When your child grows a bit older and understands the
basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
2. Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 33 If you must say no to a
child‘s request to spend money, explain, ― You have enough toy trucks for now. Or, if
the request is for many different things, say, ― You have to make a choice between this
toy and that toy.
3. 34
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. 35 If
he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the
money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less
money for other purchases.
A. Wise decisions
B. The value of money
C. Permit the child to choose between them.
D. Tell your child why he can –or cannot --- have certain things.
E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you
F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.
