A lot of us feel like Alexander these days, and with all of us focusing on the economy lately, you may find your kids asking what all this money talk is anyway. They learned from an early age that it is needed to obtain objects of desire etc, but how can you get them to learn the concept of value and beginning money management?
There are a number of books on the market that might help: The Go Around Dollar which helps explain paper money, Alexander Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday which explains how money-management can play a role in how much or how little money you have, and Lemonade For Sale which helps explain the concept of earning.
To help your kids learn the importance of helping others, there is a slick website called MarkMakers, where, after you purchase a gift card for your child (or have them buy one) to use, he/she can go “shopping” for what causes he/she would like to donate towards. The site is interactive so that the concept is a little more “tactile” for learning minds. You move about to different areas of concern and decide how you would like to help. This site is so amazing, and really will help your child learn about people or causes in need of their help. You absolutely must check this out for yourself!
Another opportunity to learn about giving back is through www.volunteermatch.org . Find a charity and find out if you are welcome to bring your child along with you. Some organizations don’t allow you to bring your children while volunteering (mostly for insurance purposes) but I believe Meals on Wheels does. This would be a way to help your child learn empowerment and how they themselves offer value to others…
Cha-ching!

Sometimes in the fall/winter, as the temperature drops, I find it harder to be inspired to go outside, but the book “I Love Dirt” is full of inspiring thoughts to keep you and your children in awe of nature.
The book isn’t activity driven, yet is full of questions to help you and your children get curious about the world around them. The book is divided into seasons, so you can find seasonal ideas for exploring the world around you.
If you want an activity-specific book, you should check out Nature in a Nutshell for Kids which will get your 2nd thru 4th grader involved in phenomenal activities that help them learn about nature and how it works…
Happy playing in the dirt!!!
