Its very difficult to teach the new generation kids about the value of money.They feel that money will be available to them for everything..whenever they need something ,we never bother to think whether its useful ..we just buy it..
That was not the case when i was kid..i never had anything which my kid is owning today at this age..so much of Gneration Gap..i think IT is changing our complete style of living..
My kids school started a new way to teach the value of money to kids..They had a habba where they were displaying the items made by the kids using recyclable items like news paper,used bottels etc..Every kid in the Playgroup was given 1 Rupee coin and asked to go and buy atleast 4 items from the habba by paying the money they had..Not only kids had a choice to select what they wanted ,they also knoew that they had to pay if they need something from shop..
You cant imagine the happiness in my kids face when she bought all the items - (piggy bank in the shape of bus,2 small flower pots made of clay,one carry bag,one more iteam)home.She was explaining me about why she picked up only these items from the entire lot..she told me that one of her friend picked up bangles and when i asked her the reason for not picking up bangles for her ,she told me she has enough bangles at home and she doesnt require any more..wah great ..i was very happy to hear her reply..
New generation kids think so independently and i feel they are more brilliant than us..every generation gets minimum of 25% brilliance etc:)
"she told me she has enough bangles at home and she doesnt require any more..wah great "
