I find that kids who learn early about money management have a much easier time as they grow up in that department as well. Here via the carnival of family life.

I was thinking of them today when I saw this post. The three part system reminds me of that fancy moonjar thing I posted a few months ago. But why buy when you can make? Right?

I think your 3 part system is a great idea! Here from the Carnival of Family Life.

You certainly don't need me to tell you to disregard comment #1. Good advice is good advice. Dr. Dobson made an observation that seems obvious, but as we know it is not. Too often parents are tying to manage their children's behavior with harmony in mind, not skills for life. They just want the kids to "be happy" and that's not always consistent with developing character. As always, best wishes and keep up the excellent role-modeling. M. Sneed NCN,

This article is exactly what I would like to do with our kids. Unfortunately, we don't have any kids yet, so I hope to remember these tips when the time comes in a few years. I'll be forwarding it to my sister though. Thanks! You sound like a model parent. This article is exactly what I would like to do with our kids.
