Why Money?
Do you think it'll screw up your child in the long run? Depends on the kid.
But there is a host of other reasons you should implement pretend money into dress up and pretend play activities:
* Children have this weird fascination with money, have you ever noticed? They know it is something quasi-sacred, something you horde, something that should be handled with care and that you would never leave around. It is for that reason that they will raid your purse or wallet to figure out the mysteries of the green paper that has old people's faces on it. Your child will finally learn the mysteries of handling that mysterious green stuff that's always that you exchange with people for things.
* You can teach your child at an early age to save money so they don't end up ruining your credit in the future.
* Or learning how to pay bills or credit card debts will help in the long run. Go ahead, give your little tyke one of those blank credit cards you get in the mail that try to make you open yet another one.
* If all else fails, at least your child will learn a good deal about adding and subtracting. If you're really lucky, your child will learn percentages, too! And, if you are blessed by divinity, maybe they'll even learn how to rip a customer off.
