Teaching Children About Value For Money

Many of our everyday decisions teach our children about value for money.

  • Do we invest in the quality of wooden toys versus their cheaper plastic counterparts?
  • Do we plan and save for large purchases, comparing prices for value for money?
  • Do we give our things away or throw them away when we have finished with them?
  • Do we talk to our children about the choices we are making as we shop to a budget?
  • Do we recycle, repurpose, repair or make our own?
  • Do we show our children how to make their own fun?
  • Do we give our children the opportunity to work for, handle and spend their own money?

These are important lessons for our children and it is part of our role as parents to help them develop a responsible attitude towards making, saving, spending and finding value for money. And I can think of no better time than the lead up Christmas to involve children in these types of decision making and over the next four weeks I will be writing about ways to do just that as part of Kia’s campaign to help families get more value for their money…
