Introduce Money on Children
Finance May 3rd, 2010
On many occasions we profess to teach children about money is not our priority. Father and mother worked and prepared many things for the future of children. But be aware that Klabers consumerist environment amid the current critical and guarded the child to ‘smart money’.
A number of academics and child psychologists warned that childhood is a golden era in the character and instill positive habits that will serve him well later. Often we deliberately show examples of ‘visible’ so that they get the message that we expect.
In a matter of money, too similar. It’s never too early children learn about money, because the children will be better prepared to face the reality of life.
Basically, the concept of money that such children need to known about how money is earned (earnings), how to share (sharing), the habit of saving (saving), shopping behavior (spending), behavior debt (borrowing). Consider, if the child started asking parents to buy an item, then you have a child old enough to understand how currency works.
The following steps can Klabers first understand and then try to apply with the children:
1. Give an example. Your life is seen daily by teaching them a natural shape. If you look wise in financial management at home, surely the children will see and a bit more will follow later. Be an example!
2. Plan to learn. Learning financial management can also be deliberately planned. Discuss with your partner! For example, we can teach older children to have? ~ Personal Finance Record Book ‘kind of money diary that contains detailed income (allowance, and others) and expenditure (heading for the charity, savings, and personal expenses). Be flexible and informal, but closely related to the everyday lives of children and families, and keep your child’s language. This is the challenge for Klabers, dare to accept challenges!
3. Creative learning and fun. Consider ways easily understood by children about financial management, be creative and fun. Use the media to invite children’s interests. Take, for example, teach them to buy a bike with a way to save some pocket money into a piggy bank opaque / special envelope. Get involved in the process, at the end of the period combine to save your savings and your baby. See how happy he was because of your help!
4. Apresiasilah! Child’s attitude is determined by the support of adults in the learning process. Apresiasilah their charity activities. Give praise for his generosity to the charity buy the have-nots. Or gently point out a lack of agreement when they are careless in personal expenses or complacent in savings.
5th. Correction. Strive to provide feedback on what the child has done. Try to have regular conversations about the use of cash advances child discipline. Acknowledge that they love and Klabers explain that this study will be useful for them also when they grow up like you. Have an open attitude to accept and answer questions concerning the necessity of the small share (charity) or the use of savings, for example.
Good luck!
