It is important that you be able to consider the future of your kids before you teach kids about money. The things that they learn now are going to shape the type of financial relationship that they have in the future. This is important because it means that you are going to have be careful in how you choose to say things.
If you want to have a positive effect on a child then you should know that there are some things that can help you to be more positive. Keeping in mind that there are some main ways that children learn and think is also important. This includes the three main ways of learning which are modeling behaviors, verbal programming and major incidents.
When it comes to verbal programming you will only need to talk to your kids. There is a lot that you can learn with what your kids have previously heard and this is how they have probably based their thoughts. It is though these conversations that you will be able to teach you kids things.
You should think about the behaviors that you are modeling each and every day when it comes to money. As a parent if all you ever do is talk about money, how much you spend or even the cost of things then you are going to have kids that act the same way. It is so important that you act out the same things that you are trying to teach kids.
The final area in which your child can be shaped with their financial thoughts is through major incidents that they are exposed to. This is basically what they see with others who are around them. Surrounding yourself with financially responsible and successful people can really affect your kids overall ideas about finances.
