Good education, sports activities and visits to various creative and scientific sections — basics of the formation harmonious, resilient personality. But this is not enough, says Essence Atkins Evans from new York. The mother of 5-year-old girl claims that her method of preparing the child for life unconventional, but very effective.
«I charge 5-year-old daughter rent,» reports Essence Atkins on his page in Facebook. Woman gives daughter as a monthly allowance of$7, but like in the real world, only part of that money goes for what he wants to buy a girl.
«I make her give me back $5, writes Evans. — $1 for rent, $1 water, $1 for electricity, $1 for cable TV and $1 for food.» The rest of the money a girl can postpone or spend at their discretion.
«Now, about what she knows: $5 she paid me to go into her savings account, which I give her when she turns 18 years — continues Evans. — Therefore, if she decides to live independently and leave the house, she has to start will be $3380«.
Social network users differently reacted to the above method to teach a child to handle money. Someone sincerely admires the unusual and the «wise» decision, someone considers that at such a tender age is not yet aware of the severity of the adult world.
Anyway, the author of «parenting philosophies» will now have a lot of followers.
