As the old saying goes, you should really never judge someone until you’ve
walked a mile in their shoes. This saying is ultimately and extremely true when
it comes to raising children and teaching them about financial responsibility,
and how to properly manage and save their money. Disciplining children can be
hard and is challenging as they get older and face a world of temptation that
can lead to bad spending habits. However, it can also be rewarding to see your
children learn from your good habits, and learn how to save better and better
manage their money.
The first and most important thing to teach your kids, especially during these
economic times is about savings. Yet lessons about saving money are not just
meant for tough economic times, but they’re meant for all economic times. The
reality of saving money is that it never hurts under any circumstances. Teaching
your kids that by putting away a little bit here and there, and doing it
frequently and often, it will teach them great habits about disciplining
themselves with their money. Many banks have programs where you can monitor your
child’s savings account. Also, print out their bank statement, or when it comes
in the mail, go over it with your child and see where they can trim up and
encourage them with where they’ve done well.
Also, aside from the encouragement, lessons, lectures, and whatever else, the
important thing is to be redundant about it. Teaching good savings habits to
your child can in some cases take them into their 20’s as a young adult. The
important thing is to have a balance between discipline and encouragement over
finances. By putting the rights effort forward you can give the right balance of
managing savings, spending wisely, and you can teach them about other accounts
and how to wisely invest, and gain true financial growth.
Thus, it can be done, but it does take balance and repetition, and
encouragement. There is a life-time of good lessons that can parents can teach
their children about money management and savings, and it’s important to do so
from a young age, and for it to continue on into their twenties and in some
cases even thirties. By doing this they will not only better themselves
financially, but they can also learn from their mistakes with money, and they
can pass them on valuable lessons to their children.
