I was interested in finding a blog on early childhood financial planning or something close to those lines, but was caught by your words here and it was so refreshing! I especially liked your line, " Children should be brought up doing the things they like, are good at, and that interest them." Because I am not computer savvy, the discovery that my young children are and was at first bewildering and disconcerting! My husband tells me this is the way of the world and to incorporate their computer skills in our lives, so I set about to find sites that are educational and motivating to young children, one of my favorite deals specifically with teaching young children how to manage money and complete chores to earn money. Away with me handwritten graphs and chore lists!!! I enter their chores online and their allowance per week (or whatever frequency you prefer). They go online to this site and log in and view their chores and upon completing them are paid. Their bank grows and they can monitor it. There is a great game on this website that according to the points accrued (by the chores completed and such) they can build a kingdom. Its kid-friendly and both parent/child involved. I love its simplicity and motivational message and structure. Its also FREE and I recommend it to any parent of children, its www.kids-save.com. What a lovely read!
