Coronavirus: Vending machine mum's perfect money lesson
With four children at home, a list of chores, and a secondhand vending machine - one mum may have discovered the perfect lockdown life lesson.
Then she told her four children - Shannon, aged nine, Lucy, eight, Jack, five, and Elijah, two - that they would be paid to do their schoolwork and help with chores around the house.While healthy snacks were free, they could spend their housework income in the vending machine. Their initial reluctance disappeared as the treats began to topple down.
"Creating a system to help kids earn their money and having tangible visual goals for them to aim at is a brilliant way to help kids focus on a target and learn the value of money," he said. For those parents who no longer carry cash - get some coins, just so children have the opportunity to interact with them.His company's research on lockdown pocket money suggests children already have some healthy financial habits.
