If you understand this process, you may be able to help parents understand how they teach their children about being male and female. You may be able to help them change the way they teach about gender, if they want to change. Parents teach by spending time with their children. Children see what their parents do. Children learn when they try to imitate their parents. For example: Children who watch their father do the dishes many times may think that doing the dishes is a male activity. On the other hand, children in single-parent families see their mother or father doing all the chores. Those children usually learn that males and females can do similar tasks.

Teaching Children Money Habits For Life (Children And Money Series) The lifelong benefits of teaching children good money habits make it well worth the effort. Do each of my children do some regular household chores? http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/youthdevelopment/DA6116.html
Extractions: Teaching Children Money Habits for Life Sharon M. Danes and Tammy Dunrud The life-long benefits of teaching children good money habits make it well worth the effort. Children who are not taught these lessons pay the consequences for a life-time. Some parents don't teach children about money because they think they shouldn't talk about money with children, don't have the time, or think they don't have enough money. Parents should take the time to teach children about money regardless of income and should start when children are young. This publication presents some helpful guidelines and suggestions parents may follow. It provides general background and outlines by age group and stage of development children's understanding and use of money as well as conflicts about money. It also identifies activities you can use to teach your child about money. Most people have strong feelings and opinions about money, based on childhood experiences and the values and beliefs of their families. Most often, these experiences, values, and beliefs are different for each parent. It is vital for the healthy development of children that parents talk about these feelings and opinions and establish a consistent approach to teaching children about money. These questions can help parents focus their discussion: How will we create an open environment in which our family can discuss money issues?

Everyone does it and thinks that it's a hoot. But be careful not to overdo the kidding with your kids. They don't have the knowledge and experience to determine what's a joke and what isn't, so they take everything you say to heart. When your kids get to the point where they follow everything that you say by asking, "Really?" then perhaps you ought to hold off on some of the joking until they start believing what you say without questioning it. Being responsible boys and girls As your kids grow older, you can start adding to their responsibilities. Teach them how to make their beds and put their dirty clothes in the hamper. You're not only developing their sense of responsibility, but you're also starting good habits and teaching them valuable lessons about how important it is for everyone to help clean up around the house. An important part of teaching chores to your children is to do Avoid giving money for housework. Paying your child to make their bed leads down a path you don't want to go. Your kids need to know that all family members must work together as a family; therefore, everyone is expected to help with chores. When you want to pay your children for work, give them extra work like raking the yard or painting the doghouse or additional household chores that are not a part of their usual chore list, like washing windows.

Things wont always be done the "right" way, but remember, they are trying. Help your kids help you. Sometimes you may need to make some adjustments so your kids can help.

Extractions: It's up to you to decide when and at what age it is appropriate to discuss the following topics. But keep in mind that if you don't teach them the skills to make educated, responsible decisions with their money, you will be holding back a valuable lesson that should be taught. Learning how to successfully manage money is a skill they will have for life.
Extractions: Editor, Momtomom.com, a Positive Parenting website featuring interactive discussion boards. Have chores become an area of conflict How do you determine what chores are appropriate for your child? You should consider her age and ability as well as her personality and temperament. For example, if your child weighs only 60 pounds, you should probably walk the Great Dane yourself. Likewise, if your son really enjoys vacuuming but hates dusting, it would be good to take that into account when assigning chores. Most children should have a few chores a day in addition to regular routine things such as hanging up their coat and putting away their school bag when they come in the door. Remember that if you can eliminate "make work", you will have fewer and easier chores for everyone. The suggestion below will give you an idea of some age-appropriate chores. Typical chores for very young children are helping with toy cleanup, wiping up spills, taking items to the trash, stacking papers or magazines, putting away videos and dressing self when they are able. This should include putting the dirty clothes in the hamper. A three- or four-year-old can dress herself, make her bed (perhaps not perfectly, but she can get the covers pulled up), clear her place at the table, hold the dustpan while you sweep, etc.

Extractions: They are called responsibilities. When Angelica, 7, and Charles, 9, bathe themselves and make their beds every morning before school, their mother, Denise Dixon-Basil, says her daughter and son are "cooperating and being organized." When the children vacuum, wash the windows, take out the trash and care for the family dogs, "that's their part," says Ms. Dixon-Basil, a bank sales manager who lives in Annandale. "Doing what they have to do is important to the house running right." The decision by parents to assign household jobs to their children has ramifications that extend far beyond the obvious relief. Chores teach responsibility and commitment, boosting self-esteem and confidence, family specialists say. Perhaps the most important intrinsic value, though, they say, lies in the strengthened connection of each child to the family unit, born out by the core feeling of working for the good of the group. "Chores should be contributions to the family," says Jim Fay, president and co-founder of the Love and Logic Institute in Golden, Colo., an organization that offers child-rearing and training products and information to teachers and parents. "Every time a kid does a chore, it should benefit the whole family and make everyone a winner, even the kid."

Extractions: A preschooler isn't developmentally ready to focus on the greater good or to understand his role in the family, let alone his role in society (he does know, however, that he's the center of the universe!). He's also not ready for complex chores or for maintaining his own schedule. But he does want to be as busy and important as you appear to be. So take a positive view of it if your little one's always underfoot while you're trying to get things done. His desire lays the groundwork for the behaviors that will make him a responsible teen and adult.
Extractions: promised thirteen-year-old Will. All parents find themselves dealing with money issues with their children. This can be frustrating and even downright embarrassing. There are specific steps you can take to help your child learn that money is not unlimited, that it must be earned through work, and that spending it means making choices. You can help your child develop good money sense now that will last a lifetime.
