When 12-year-old Helen received & lot of money on her birthday* she knew exactly* what she wanted to buy:a pair of LuluLemon trousers that her mom wouldn't buy because they were too expensive.
"We went to the store together,51 Helenas mom,Kate remembers,"but she gave up.When it was her own money,she felt they were too expensive,after all.
That .story well explains why kids should have some money of their own ― not for lunch or movies,but for the things that they dream of.Because they "don't really understand what it means to pay $ 100 for a pair of trousers until it's their $ 100.
"Kids get excited about receiving money because it gives them the chance to decide what to buy," says Lana,a manager of the Yonge and Eglinton CIBC in Toronto."Kids are more interested in money,which means there is a need for parents to teach them."
If kids are given some money a week or a month,it will do them good,because they will learn how to "use money.But Lana has other suggestions ：
Help them plan."If there's a big-ticket item your child wants'" says Lana,"help him plan how long it will take him to save enough money for that,and how much he should save each week."
Help them earn.Tell kids .the ways they can make their money,for instance,they can help do the housework.
