Starting in about 2nd grade, when we got the bill at a resturaunt I would put a bunch of money in front of our daughters and let them get what the bill
required. Then let them pay on the way out.
As they got better at it they needed exact change, then the best possible
ways. Sometimes that might include getting rid of change.
Then we moved to figuring the change and letting them pay by themselves.
The girls are 4 years apart, so by the time it got old for the oldest, the
youngest wanted to start.
19 and 15, both have jobs handling money. It has been no trouble for them.
You gotta decide what you want your Kid's to know and teach it to them.
Mine get history lessons, ethics, social lessons.........
Like the change, it isn't sitting them at the table and hammering them.
It is practical, conversation or other interaction.
Dinner table conversations about issues guys at work face provide the opportunity to sneak in a lesson on money management, or ethics.
Only a dumbass isn't constantly learning, many underestimate the ability
of even young children to pick subtle tidbits out of conversation.
This exactly how the lefties steal your children's minds.
Get in there early, talk about right/wrong. Talk about the constitution,
How it was written, the world wars, how our nation provides a system
to allow hard work to pay off. How others dont.
