Like most parents, you probably want your child to learn how to use money wisely. Children need to develop a good attitude toward money and its uses, and to learn to make choices when spending money or using other resources. You probably want your children to enjoy spending their money for things they want or need, but you also may want them to save for the future. You might want your child to be generous, but not extravagant, in sharing with family, friends and those less fortunate. Learning about the proper use of money and other resources begins at home for a child.
Parents still do more than anyone else to mold the attitudes of their children.
