In part 2 of this blog post we discussed the importance of setting financial limits for your children and talking to your children about money. In this blog post we will discuss the importance of teaching your children to give and allowing your children to manage their own money.

Allow your children to manage money. When your child is the proper age, begin to give them an allowance, you may want to associate this with chores, however, it is not necessary but you do want to provide some general guidelines on how to save and spend money. You can encourage your child to save money for an item they desire or advise them to bring their allowance along to the grocery store or Glendale auction and decide if they want an item enough to purchase it with their own money.

Teach them to give. Teach your child the importance of giving and the good feeling that can be associated with sharing his or her income with a friend or family member. Encourage your child to contribute regularly to a charity or donate money at church. You can also give your child the responsibility of purchasing birthday presents for friends or family members.

In part 1 of this blog post we discussed the importance of teaching your children the value of a dollar. In this blog post we will provide a few tips that will help you teach your children the value of a dollar including talking to your children about money and setting limits for your children.

Talk to your children about Money. It is important for parents to talk to their children about how you earn an income and how to plan carefully when spending. When you take your child to a grocery store, you should explain to your child why you purchase the products you are purchasing. For example, if you buy an item in bulk because it is on sale, explain to your child the importance of buying items at a discount. Gilbert auctions are another location where you can teach your children the importance of purchasing quality items at discounted prices.

Set limits. Even if you are extremely financially successful, it is important to avoid being over indulgent and purchasing your child everything they ask for. If you simply fulfill your child’s every request, you may deny your child a few things: motivation to work hard; appreciation for material things and things that cannot be bought; persevering through frustration and obstacles and the importance of achieving a goal. It is important for parents to learn to say no to their children and to stay firm.
