There’s no better way to teach a child the value of money than to encourage his desire to work. But did you know that working for a few bucks can also teach kids valuable life skills? Working with others, persuasion skills, and creativity are among the benefits you’ll see if you allow your kids the fun of working at an early age.
Some jobs for kids might not pan out, so keep your expectations realistic. However, you may be surprised when one gig becomes your child’s passion, and you get a front row seat to witness the adventure.
Here are 10 creative ways your child can make some money while having fun.
Making Your Child’s Work… Work
Be sure no money-making endeavors interfere with school work or family life, and always know where your child is.
To maximize the life lessons of working early, don’t interfere by working your child’s job for him. Instead, offer other support like encouragement and supplies.
The best time to start teaching your little entrepreneur is not when he shows signs of wanting to work, but much earlier – In fact, as soon as he starts asking for items in the store, it’s time to talk about work. Teaching your children at an early age the value of a dollar is important. Give them the tools they need to get started to a healthy financial lifestyle by leading by example and giving them opportunities to learn themselves.
