How many times have you told your children that "money doesn't grow on trees?" Probably, many times more than you'd like to. Unfortunately, children just don't understand the value of money, because most of the time, they haven't had much experience with it.

They might earn an allowance and they probably receive money around special occasions like their birthday or Christmas, but because we parents purchase most, if not all, of what a child needs, they just don't understand much about how it works. Well, we spend years of their lives teaching them history, literature, math and the like, and now it's time to put that same amount of effort into teaching them how to handle their own finances. After all, this is a lesson if learned well, will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
