Whats up mommies and daddies here?
How was everyone?I hope everyone is doing great today.
For todays blog , I will share on how I and why I introduce the money late to my son.
I have two son ,a 6year and a 2year old one.
My 6 year old boy was does'nt know how much is the value of the money he saw or given by his aunties and uncle.I am not introducing it to him at the young age ,all I am saying to him is that the money is important.
I did'nt introduced him the money early coz I am afraid that he might can't adjust if we can't give him a money.I am worried that what would be the effect to a young child to learn about money at their young age.
And now he is in his first grade of elementary and one of their lessons is about numbers.Then one time ,suddenly he was asking me when he was holding a 5peso coin which he saw from the floor ,maybe it is from my husband's wallet.
I did'nt answered him right away ,so what he did is he keep looking at the coin and told me that it was a peso coin and he was right.Because he saw the number 5 on it.
Since he knows about numbers now ,for me its the best time to teach him about it ,taught him to value every coins he seen.
Everyday if he had a class,I usually put a snacks on his bag and a 20pesos coins for him to buy what he wanted in their school canteen but always he only spent 5pesos and his reason is he needs to left some coins for the other day .Oh ,I am so proud of him on how he make a budget.

I can't deny that sometimes ,I can compare him to other kids like my sister's son ,at the young age she introduced money to his son and it gave him a problem coz her son keeps asking a money to buy anything in the store.
My sister find hard time to control her sons as its always throwing a tantrums.
And sometimes those coins is'nt enough for him coz he already know how much the value of it.
And I am thankful to my son that I can feel that he is not a little boy who is wasting money.He knows how to value it ,I keep telling him that money now a days is hard to find.We should value each small amount we had.
We are having our different ways of parenting and all the purposes of it is to give a good life and make our kids a better person.
We parents should always there for our kids ,to guide them as always in right path they will be taking.
I always pray to God that he will guide me and give me always a strenght so that I can raised my kids well.
And that would be all for today ,thanks for reading .
Love,
