Is this some weird american thing where kids can’t go outside by themselves?
Maybe your kid went to hang out with some friends after school, asks for money to go to the cinema or just to get some food?
Why would you go out of your way to make your life difficult by avoiding debit cards?
- skeeter2020 5y agoI'm struggling to help my kids (teen through < 10) understand the value representation of money. It helps to covet a physical item, even if it's just a piece of plastic/paper. Money is hard to undestand when you don't work like a dog to earn very little of it, so this is even harder for kids.
- watwut 5y agoMy kids got this through pocket money and being or not being able to buy stuff. "I need 6$ to buy that and have only 3$" is how they got it. We moved on virtual money fairly fast. > Money is hard to undestand when you don't work like a dog to earn very little of it, so this is even harder for kids. It is not? If you role model financial decisions in front of them where they see, they pick yout habits.
