The tyranny of the checkout line.
If you’re a parent, you probably cringe whenever you have to wait in line at the grocery store. That’s because young kids see the checkout aisle as a carnival of fun.
“Dad, can I have a candy bar?”
“Not today.”
“What about this racecar?”
“No. Put that back.”
“Why not?”
“Because I said so!”
It’s easy to grow frustrated when kids whine for stuff at the store. But use the occasion to teach your son important lessons about financial responsibility. There are many ways to accomplish this, but the ultimate goal is to help your son understand how to manage money and be a good steward of what God has given you.
By training your son in the way he should go, even pennies begin making “sense.”
