[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 389621"] A friend of mine taught her daughter about using her as a money tree by cashing out her entire check and sitting her down with it and having her sort the money to the bills in order of importance. Once those were out of the way, she counted how much was left, and it wasn't much. Handling the actual cash and bills really helped her understand better why her mommy couldn't just run out and buy everything and that just because there's still checks in the checkbook doesn't mean there's money in the bank. Her daughter was in 4th grade when they did this, might be worth a go, sometimes having it so tangible does make it a lot more real to them. [/QUOTE]
