She lists various things and tells us how many moneys they cost, and it is cute as hell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-money#post-2071725 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 12:01:53 +0000 yellowbird 2071725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: yep! I thought I could trust her but she swallowed a penny this weekend so she won't be playing with any money for the next 10 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-money#post-2071724 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 12:00:32 +0000 hellocupcake 2071724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is in charge of swiping my card when we go to the store. She loves it. She understands, somewhat, that we need money to buy stuff...but no real concept of worth. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-money#post-2071690 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:39:41 +0000 looch 2071690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, he deals in two currencies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-money#post-2071681 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:33:09 +0000 yoursilverlining 2071681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but she LOVES (a little too much!) swiping my credit card when we buy things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-money#post-2071678 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:31:15 +0000 mrsjyw 2071678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He likes collecting his change that his grandparents give him in his piggy bank. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-money#post-2071564 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:35:25 +0000 mamimami 2071564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is obsessed with money at 4 years old. He always wants to keep any change I get (sticks his little hand right into any machine that dispenses change and I have to pry it out of his hand). When he does gather a few coins, he saves it up to buy kinder eggs. Of course he has no idea how much each coin is worth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-money#post-2071563 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:35:21 +0000 chopsuey 2071563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD likes to put change in her piggy bank, but she doesn't know much about money yet.<br /> We're gonna start giving her allowance ($1/week) and will teach her to give 10%, save 10%, invest 10% and she can spend the rest. Hahha it'll take a while before she can buy anything :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-money#post-2071557 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:31:05 +0000 Mrs. Twine 2071557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Lorelei thinks that you pay people to give you money, because I usually suck at having cash on me and will quite often write a check for over the amount at our local grocery to get some cash. :P She loves change and money in general. She likes to make piles and then I have to tell her what each kind is. Then she likes me to tell her the wrong name for something so she can correct me.</p> <p>Ellie is old enough that she understands money a little better. She's already started digging through special occasion cards to see if there is money in them. We are working on tact, and being polite, but, honestly, even at 32 I don't frown if I see money in an envelope addressed to me. She can use points to get a small allowance. It always seems to burn a hole in her pocket.</p> <p>And both kids sing "Money, money, money, we love money" because of the Judy Blume book when Fudge is obsessed with money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-money#post-2071548 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:24:49 +0000 mrbee 2071548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids love to play with change and dollar bills. I usually wash some change for them, and then they spend the next 20 minutes putting it in their various bags and wallets. 20 minutes of peace and quiet - I'd gladly pay more than a little change for that!!</p> <p>Do your kids like money? </p>
