Yes we have started teaching about money, although I could probably still use a few lessons because they don't really understand.

RaD said...

And your button is already in my left sidebar button slide show :)

RaD said...

Since that counts for two do I leave two comments about that?

I don't do twitter sooo.... I can't leave a comment about that one.

I have just made a lapbook for Blaze to teach him about money but he is only 2 so he doesn't really get it. But I want him to learn early the lessons I didn't learn.

When we go shopping I have started giving my 4 year old his own money so that he can pick what he wants knowing he only has so much. He loves getting back his receipt and change. He is also always on the lookout for coupons!

I have been teaching my kids on and off about money. I started with Neale Godfrey's book "A Penny Saved" and now has the Dave Ramsey program for teens for them.

What a great giveaway! Yes, I have been teaching my children about how to save money! They know that I don't buy it unless it is on sale! They also know that I use coupons too! We also let them try to save to buy something they want and we help them to get it. They appreciate it more that way!

Please enter me in your giveaway!

Thanks!

We are teaching about money, although I know we have lots of ways to go. We definitely use it every day life, and the know what money is, how it works, how we earn it, what the different coins are worth, etc. But unfortunately they don't quite yet get the VALUE of money. We're still working on that one!

We (my husband and I) are Crown Financial Small Group Leaders and we definitely are already teaching our kids about managing money! We've used the Crown for Kids books and Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University Jr Books.

We have started teaching the kids to save - with piggy banks and accounts. We also talk about giving to others first!

I give my grandchildren money for their piggy banks. I would like to share this book with my sons. I think they are already teaching their children about money, but it would be good for me to read the book and pass it on. Thanks for this great giveaway.

Frances said...

I tried to teach my stepchildren. Unfortunately, their mom's training won out. None of the 3 are very good with money. Maybe they will learn someday.

Maybe I can be more successful with some of the grandchildren.

Yes and no. We don't really give our child mondey because he loses it or just gives it away. That's good to an extent, but not when we tell him to buy food with it first lol!

I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old. We have started teaching both of them about the importance of spending wisely and being generous with everything God has given us...especially our money. My husband and I went through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University a few years ago...I highly recommend!!!

Love this giveaway!

I tried to start teaching them from a young age. I think we began with piggy banks. :)
