Dec 01 | Electronic Monopoly Game
For years parents have spoken to me about how to teach money management in this fast paced life that we all live. Children use gift cards, pay for their school lunch by touch screen key pads in the cafeteria and earn their allowance but receive it by direct pay to their saving accounts! When parents pay with debit and credit cards and checks….kiddos hardly find an opportunity to count real cold cash.
Although it is very important to teach kids about coins and paper currency saved away in a “piggy bank” the children that are growing up today also have a great need to learn about electronic banking, direct deposit, on line bill pay and stock market purchases and sales. Our children need to know more about money today then just balancing a checkbook.
Follow up:
Parents take time to include all aspect of banking and money as a chance to interact with your child.
Monopoly has stepped up to a new level and I will personally be purchasing this game this holiday season.
Besides a fun opportunity to interact electronically with money and kids….I believe that our time spent together enjoying a time and true tested activity such as “Family Game Night” allows us a bigger opportunity to teach our children how to engage in the world of money, finance and discussions about money are easy in the future!
