Growing Money Trees
By Dina Dove of Harry Turtle
Have you ever had someone say to you “Money doesn’t grow on trees?” I know my parents used to say that to me when I wanted the latest new outfit or to needed money to go to the city pool. You know, how we personally feel about money is transferred, through our consciousness, directly to our children. Yikes! Of course we have budgets to keep in mind and certainly keeping the kids spending habits in check is important. But, how about a new and more positive twist on the old money stories, in both our minds and those of our children. Instead of telling them, in essence, that you ‘can’t afford it’, help them to develop their creativity with a different word pattern. Try statements like these. “How could we find the money to get that new outfit?” “What can you do to earn what you need to go to the pool this week?” Helping put a personal value on what your children want is a win-win for both of you. It inspires creativity, teaches them some personal accountability and shows them how to build their own ‘Money Tree’ from the ground – up. Dina Dove, Author of “The Bagladys Guide to Elegant Living”, serial entrepreneur, speaker and coach has a financial education site called www.harryturtle.com. |

Very good advice. Sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it that brings the desired results.
