Today while in the car, ds was peeling off the plastic cover from the Kids Explorer membership card that I purchased. When I told him not to tear, he said: 'Never mind, spoil just buy another one. I know you & mummy have a lot of money'. :slapshead:


Now I suspect that ds's attitude is largely due to me as I also have a lax attitude towards money. But at least for big ticket items, I know how to control myself. There is a danger that ds may be worse off than me in that aspect. :scared:

How do I gently teach him the value of money? Pls don't suggest that I make him sell newspaper cos I'll never have the heart to do so. Best is that ds can learn the lesson without any physical discomfort. Your suggestion pls.

your DS now will say \"see, can buy that house #29 liao......lots of money\"....

Mummy sick also don’t go see doc, everyday eat maggi mee. Then, she didn’t even think for long, tell me that she will take money out of her piggy bank.don’t need mami to pay for her… Keke…

Anyway, bought her dinner ytd and she overturn her whole dinner on the floor. She looked so sorry…

Hi Mommies,


when did you start to teach your child about money? how to count them & how to value them? any good methods to share?
