[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Letting kids do tasks attached to money… makes them feel way less anxious (or distracted by the handling of money.).

At soccer fields, I have told a combination of my 13 (yes easy for her), 10, and 7 to take $5 and buy a few snacks for us.

Sometimes is the 13 and 7 together. Sometimes is the 10 and 7 together.

But they don’t get worried because the snack and money excites them.

Then they learn to interact with others, find things, etc. It’s a starting point for 6+, plus if you can put them with a friend or sibling. [/quote]

Other examples are pool snacks. “I have $3 for each of you or you can combine it and see what you can get. See ya.” They negotiated buying nachos together and sharing so they had room to buy a slushie.

Dropping off the check at the orthodontist (ugh that was our old orthodontist, now our current one is recurring credit card).

I’m going to start my oldest making her own dentist and orthodontic appointments.

And one day I will make them call for pizza like I had to do in 1997.[b] Do they still take phone orders?! ;)[/b][/quote]

They do! I called once when the website wasn't working (this was for a chain like Domino's or Papa John's, not a local place). But also teach your kid how to do it online. [/quote]
