第一篇:
If you want to teach your children about money, giving them pocket money is a good idea. They’re going to need a
place to put it, which is how the three-jar system came into existence: one for spending, one for saving and one for giving.
Almost every child understands the first jar and has a long list of things they want to spend money on right now. The save
jar teaches patience, a concept that parents are constantly trying to reinforce in all sorts of ways.
But the give jar is more mysterious. Give to whom? And why give at all? Quite often our answer is to give back
because it’s the right thing to do. However, it won’t satisfy your children’s curiosity, so let me suggest another one: One
great reason to give is to honor your own family’s history of being helped.
First, this is an opportunity to tell stories about you and your relatives that your children may not have heard before.
People they know, perhaps even their mother or father, have benefited from someone else’s donations. And since your
family was lucky enough to receive help, it’s only fair that you help some other families, too.
In our family, we tell several stories about it. Telling these stories has helped make our present-day volunteer work
and donations more real. When my wife and I showed our now 9-year-old daughter how we divided the money we wanted
to donate, she understood why we were so generous with others.
There are stories waiting for you to tell your children. And once you do, chances are they will know just what to do
with that money accumulating in their Give jars.
