Older kids, especially, are subjected to constant media and peer pressure to keep up with the latest trends which results in most children learning to associate money with spending rather than saving. Children are watching money magically be ejected out of machines and transactions made via the internet, making it difficult to grasp the concept of where money comes from, how much you can afford to spend and how to save. http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/812400/5-ways-to-teach-your-children-to-save Parenting Super Moms Guide Super Moms Guide: Money & Career Suzi Milovanovic Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:11:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/804490/signs-of-autism-and-everyday-life-with-an-autistic-child Is autism a part of your life?
