Kids learn a lot by simply watching their parents. The best thing you can do is to get your own financial house in order. Treat your own money with respect. Children's attitudes about money are based on the things they learn. You can't completely mold your child's perspective, but you can teach your child to respect money and the hard work it represents.
Children have watchful eyes.
Small changes in your money habits such as bending down to pick up a penny or counting your change instead of stuffing it in your wallet, teach your child that even small amounts are significant. Games are a great way to spend quality time with a young child. For example, try playing shopkeeper. Have your child price items with stickers and use play money to buy the items. Give an allowance.
