Whos Teaching Your child About Money'
Managing money is one of the most critical skills we must master to function effectively as adults. However, public school curricula rarely address this issue directly. Instead, teachers cover it as a side topic or as examples in math. So, just who is responsible for this critical education' WHO'S RESPONSIBLE' PARENTS can teach "money" lessons as soon as their kids can count. Otherwise, your toddler may reach his own conclusions about "where money comes from." He may decide it does not grow on trees; instead, it comes from an ATM (Automated Teller Machine). Does your child expect you to buy her all kinds of goodies every time you go shopping? Or have you created a "budget" (sometimes referred to as an allowance) for such items' If your family suffers a crisis such as job loss, accident, or a natural disaster, will your older child understand the financial consequences? Or does he still think that the electricity fairy magically turns on the lights for free' If you have not taught your teenager certain money lessons, his first paycheck may be a big surprise. After all, $8 per hour for 40 hours is $320 in your pocket, right' WHAT WILL MY child LEARN' Toddlers, young children, teenagers, and young adults can gain an understanding of money suitable for their age group. And the younger they are, the simpler it is for a parent to start money coaching. You may find that you are such a talented teacher that your child opens her own profitable business and supports you! Here's a sampling of some topics/exercises by age group: TODDLERS What is Money' Counting Using Coins Adding and Subtracting Using Coins YOUNG childREN Supplementing What's Taught in School about Personal Finance Making Change When "Savings" at a Store Sale is Costing Money TEENAGERS Why You Can't Ignore Paying Taxes Guessing the Dinner Bill and the Tip Performing Work Around the House on a "Contract" Basis YOUNG ADULTS How Credit Cards Work What is a 401(k)' The Pitfalls of Borrowing and Lending Money Use the Internet, children's books, books for parents, and your own knowledge to help raise independent, financially savvy children.

Television - The Great SATAN! I've often thought that in 6 million years, archaeologists will marvel at the devotion the 21st century Earthlings had to their household gods.

New data is emerging from a multitude of disciplines including neurology, psychology, biology, ethology, anthropology and neurocardiology.
