Well, I guessed I have arrived, am with it or perhaps even a cool grandma. Considering that this is my first time blogging and only last year I thought it was called blobbing, I think I have come a long way!!
Being a grand mother seems to have many specific obligations and responsibilities which are great because at the end of the day you can give these children back to their parents and you can relax. However, when did grandparents also become banks? In my golden years I seem to have become the National Bank of Grandma. Unlike real banks, I seem to issue no loans, I get no interest and just seem to pass out money to buy “stuff” whenever I am pressed with those infamous words….I need and I want. They kind of work like triggers or passwords. “No,” is a word that is very hard to say to grandchildren. I don’t know why as it was so easy to say to my kids.
The most logical way to teach kids about the value of a dollar is to let them earn that dollar. There are many kids in business today. They are called young entrepreneurs. Some are making thousands of dollars and some are making very little. But, they are all learning valuable life skills that are not taught in our schools. Biz in a Boxx teaches these skills and along with it the value of a dollar.
My grand daughter has started her own business and I hope one day to be able to say to her…I need and I want.
