In Our Children's Hands For children, the meaning of money begins long before they actually handle it. Very young children enjoy visits to the supermarket and are interested in the buying process. Starting from these early experiences, children gradually build their attitudes, knowledge and skills about money. While all these influences are powerful, the family is the most effective place for children to learn about money.
Parents are children's first and most consistent available learning source.
Therefore, parents really need to look at what they are teaching about money. Regardless of the child's age. You may be surprised by how many ways you taught your child about money in just one day . When we add the influences of friends and TV it is not surprising that children learn about money so early in life. Therefore, it is valuable for parents to try to make their child's experiences with money as positive as possible.
