Are you ready for your child support

Are you ready for your child support Kids think money grows on trees. Maybe not literally, of course, but I think that this is a never ending supply of it. You see, when companies are pushing a cart overflowing with food of the week, then you hand the cashier a piece of plastic, and suddenly it's all yours. People at the door to collect funds for the support of a charity and magic from the bottom of your bag, as if you pull a rabbit from a hat. Instead of "Mom" or "Dada", "control" your child would be the first word. It makes no sense, then, that every time you ask for something you want from the shop, the answer is not usual. How can I teach the value of money on a child? Compensation is the answer? Many parents think that giving a check is a good way to teach their children about money. There are two schools of thought on this issue. One theory is that the child takes a couple of tasks, and receives a small payment at the end of the week. Then, when he sees something he likes in a store, he said, would be of benefit for its purchase. Some people believe that the child is committed to "What will you give me if I do" attitude, and soon all that I ask him to do has a price attached to it. Others believe that children must lea that for a family, the benefits, each family member should participate in the care of the family. When there is a mess, clean it up. If there is laundry to fold, helping out with the folding or putting away. If there is yard to do, anyone can step in and their ability to work together toward a common goal. Thus, if the child does not see something in a shop and asks to have the answer is usually yes. I was a believer in the first place, until the application to test.My experienceOur daughter Emily is four. Out of the Blue, began his bed every day after she got up. It does not take very long, I thought, but every day they dutifully to the best of their abilities. I took the opportunity to teach them the value of money, because like most of four years, thought that all the toys they saw on TV was in our means. I started with an allowance of 25 cents a week, to see what would happen. The first month of being very excited when Friday came around and they were shiny quarter. As I handed her the money, I would always say, "You did a good job this week honey, there have been a big help to mom around the house." I would be certain situations in which they volunteered to help me, and told me my appreciation for their reflection. At first they put their power into their piggy bank, sometimes emptying the cache and play with her. But after that the price has begun to lose its value. I had left the district for the kitchen, where he remained until I set in his piggy bank for them. There were weeks when I forgot to pay, but I have always positively reinforce their good behavior. I discovered that nothing about his money and my praise means everything.The outcomePerhaps Emily my experiment with a check, which is not like I expected, but was a lesson for me, which means more than my daughter. If we look at companies, and asked for a particular toy, you weigh it out. If we agree that it was affordable and a little 'time since they had something new, then I buy for them. The only exceptions are the teaching materials or books. This is why I always buy for them, no doubt. I noticed that this is the best solution for us.About The Author Heidi HoffEditor, Preschool PlanetSubscribe and get "100 Things tomake From cardboard box" FREE!
