WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28,1985, PAGE 11 Teach children how to spend and save money now If you sincerely want ta teach your child ta under- stand, appreciate, and man- age money, you'll be happy ta hear ai same simple ways ta begin this education pro- cess. Young children are saon able ta learn that money is used ta purchase things ta eat, play with, and enjoy. If it is convenient, take yaur child shopping with yau. As you pass thraugh rows ai merchandise, you might ex- plain that different itemns cost different amaunts ai money. When you return home, p lace a purchase on your dining table and show the child in real or play money how much the item cast. As soan as yaur young- ster expresses an interest in specific purchases. begin an allowance pragram. For tiny children, pennies, a nickel, ar a dime a week shauld be -4 o. sufficient. Ini this way, they can learn it is possible ta purchase something which costs a quarter by saving a small aîlowance for several weeks. Playing games with num- bers helps children learn ta caunit and, subsequently, learn about maney. Soan, your child will learn that numbers are abjects in themselves, as well as why they are needed and haw they are used ta represent things. Have your chiid weigh himself and compare his nu- merical weight ta yaurs. Teach him ta tell the time and explain haw an entire day is divided into haurs, minutes, and seconds. He will soon be able to com- cther and recognize smaller amounts. Gitsboppe SOLIO OAK & PINE FURNITURE BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIALS! D10 %OF IBOOKCASE UNITS 110 DUNLOP ST.
