Nearly every toy or other item children ask their parents to buy them can become the object of a goal-setting session. Such goal-setting helps children learn to become responsible for themselves.<br />Chicago Bankruptcy Law Office of Lorraine Greenberghttp://www.wipeoutbills.com/areas-served.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793116735725005642.post-18677881837690425612013-09-08T15:47:45.148+01:002013-09-08T15:47:45.148+01:00Sounds brilliant.

I'd struggle to say our girls couldn't have something if they had saved up but were only £2 short for example. I'd end up giving them the extra funds. How do you manage this?Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777201989424159161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793116735725005642.post-53550942445267662072013-09-04T22:06:45.726+01:002013-09-04T22:06:45.726+01:00My son is 11 and we've set up a bank account f...My son is 11 and we've set up a bank account for him with £10 per week which is his pocket money for good behaviour and household chores. He must buy everything except school items from this, so toiletries, clothes, sweets, trips to cinema with his friends etc. This is working really well.

Mushroom sort of understands the concept of money as at about 20 months, he started to just take things of the shelf at our corner shop while waiting for me to pay. So now I give him an item of shopping to pay for, and the money to pay for it. So he understands that things aren't free. He also understands that Mummy and Daddy get money by going to work. However, when I tell him he can't have something because I don't have money on me, he points to the cashpoint where he seems to think there is a neverending supply! I guess that's the next challenge...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793116735725005642.post-839631110432838692013-08-20T09:30:33.107+01:002013-08-20T09:30:33.107+01:00What a great post and I'd never really conside...What a great post and I'd never really considered how cards could make it confusing, but I have noticed my 7yo daughter has very little concept of money, despite being intelligent and mature. The boys have always been good with money, but I think that is definitely more of a 'boy thing'.SarahMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103870858666628645noreply@blogger.com
