Conversation with Children

A lot of teens nowadays do not understand the value of earning and spending money. They were not oriented that investing is necessary even if they are still students. As parents, you play a crucial role in this area.

You should be able to teach your kids how to save money. They should be able to understand the concept of money and investment as early as childhood. This will prepare them to learn money management as they grow old.

Here are some tips on how you can teach your children how to save money:

1. Your children should be educated on the meaning of money. Once your children have learned how to count, that is the perfect time for you teach them the real meaning of money. You should be consistent and explain to them in simple ways and do this frequently, so that they may be able to remember what you taught them.

2. Always explain to them the value of saving money. Make them understand its importance and how it will impact their life. It is important you entertain questions from them about money and you should be able to answer them right away.

3. When giving them their allowances. You need to give them their allowances in denominations. Then you can encourage them to keep a certain amount for the future. You can motivate them to do this by telling them that the money can be saved and they can buy new pair of shoes or the toys they want once they are able to accumulate enough money.

4. You can also teach them to work for money. You can start this at your own home. You can pay them fifty cents to one dollar every time they clean their rooms, do the dishes or feed their pets. This concept of earning a little money will make them think that money is something they have worked for and should be spent wisely.

5. You can teach them to save money by giving them piggy banks where they can put coins and wait until they get full. You can also open bank accounts for them and let them deposit money from their allowance. You should always show them how much they have earned to keep them motivated.

Money and saving is not something that is learned by children in one sitting. You should be patient in teaching them and relating the value of money in all of their activities. Children will learn this easily if you are patient and consistent in guiding them and encouraging them in this endeavor.

Dear Parent,

Did you know that in January 2002 the American Press reported that U.S. newborns should be vaccinated against hepatitis B before leaving the hospital to protect against possible disease from infected mothers, according to doctors’ recommendations?

Previously, giving the shots in the hospital was recommended only for newborns whose mothers were known to be infected or whose disease status was unknown.

The recommendation is listed in the childhood immunization schedule for 2002, prepared by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Doctors worried that some infants were not being vaccinated early because of concerns that some shots had a mercury-containing preservative called thimerosal, which has since been removed from most vaccines, said Dr. Louis Cooper, AAP president. This suggestion of removal is still yet to be seen by pharmaceutical company labeling.

While there’s been no known increase in infants infected with hepatitis B, vaccinating them before they leave the hospital “just makes good sense,” Cooper said.

Newborns can contract the virus from infected mothers’ blood during childbirth, but vaccinating them soon afterward can prevent the disease from taking hold, said McMillan, a pediatrics professor at Johns Hopkins University. However, there has been NO scientific study to show this is true; only a theory that actually goes against the basic principles of the immune system.

The three factual ways that any human being can contract hepatitis B are intravenous drug use (from contaminated needles), blood transfusions, and sexual intercourse. Seeing that these are not risk factors for newborns, why in the world would we inject a foreign protein past the first line of defense (the skin) directly into the blood stream of a baby whose immune system isn’t fully formed until the age of two years old?
