Excellent advice. I never thought of it as a strategy, but my kids have always gone almost everywhere with me. We also made it a point to not say "we don't have enough money," but rather "we choose to spend our money on other things." This keeps them from developing poverty mentality. I also try to connect with them when they do have meltdowns. I never cave to what they're wanting, but I try to ignore other people and give them the connection they're really needing.
We also had our kids buy a lot of their own stuff. My older two are 19 and 15, and they bought a lot of their own toys, especially the electronics. They learned to save. They also learned to sell used games and systems on eBay. Learning money management is maybe one of the most important things we can teach. Thanks for your post. Helpful as always.
