[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 453239, member: 6546"] Yep - natural consequences. Also...you're the Mom. You are under NO obligation to let him have ALL of his money at once. Let him learn with a few little purchases that end up being disappointments. Then "help" him save up for something big and fun. Show him how the numbers add up in his bank book. It also never hurts to show him some math lessons and practice making choices with play money. When we were kids - we used to play shopping games with a big jar of pennies. I learned some really good life lessons watching those pennies get spent in imaginary stores...and then having to get a pretend job to get more pennies to go shopping again... [/QUOTE]
