Lately, I've been thinking about how early our
relationship with money really begins.
Long before conversations, before anyone feels ready to explain
anything and even before we realise there's something being
taught. We absored ‘stuff” about money.
See our children are already learning quietly too from what they
see around them.
They learn from what causes tension. From what's avoided,
how decisions are made, or not made.From what's written down,
and what only lives in someone's head.
By the time you decide it's time to “teach the
children about wealth,” most of the lessons are already in
place.
This becomes especially noticeable around this time of year.
December amplifies things —spending patterns, family
dynamics, the conversations that happen and the ones that
don't. Even in the middle of Detty December, children are
watching more than we think.
