Teaching children about money management One method to teaching children about responsibility and money management is through a system of daily chores and weekly allowance. A banking system is also used. It is never too early to start teaching children about responsibilities and money management. At age five- or younger- a child can be responsible for very simple daily chores around the home. These chores can be such tasks as emptying small garbage pails from rooms; feeding and providing water for a pet; or making his/her bed. Whatever the chores are be sure they are reasonable for your child to accomplish. Next, decide upon a daily allowance your child will receive when the chores have been completed. Once this has been established, make a chore chart showing a list of the chores with pictures cut from a magazine to visually dispaly each chore. Young children who cannot yet read will be able to identify the chores by looking at the pictures. This gives the child a sense of responsibility by being expected to know what they are to do on their own. At the top of the chart you will need to make a slot for each day of the week so you can put your child's daily allowance in it. This can be done by cutting a small envelope in half and taping or gluing it to the construction paper used to make the chart. After your child completes all of his/her chores for each day, place the daily allowance in the envelope slot. If you will be using coins each day, you may want to use small plastic sandwhich bags in place of the envelope so that your child can see his/her money each day.

Long before they enter school, they observe adults using money and buying things. They watch television daily and see thousands of commercials each year. Like it or not, money is a part of your preschooler’s life. What children witness affects their attitudes about what money is for. Some of these beliefs will help them as adult consumers and some will not. For example, they might get the message that saving is important or they might not. As a parent, you will not be the only influence on what your child learns about using money. But when you teach basic lessons about money, you increase the chance that your child’s values will be similar to yours.
