Cutie and her cream

MICHELLE Heskin shakes her jar of cream while waiting patiently for a lump of butter to appear. Other visi-
tors to the recent annual fair at Maplewood Farm took pony rides, played in the straw, participated in craft
exhibits and games, and even tried hand-milking a goat.

Kids must make sense out of money

Paul W. Lermitte

FOR children born in
the mid-1990s, this
school year can mean
kindergarten and the
beginning of a long for-
mal education process.

At the same time, they will
become consumers. Yet little
of what they will be taught
prepares them to manage

subjected to spiralling peer
pressure coupled with an
onslaught of advertising
designed to interest them in
everything from bicycles to
books. Parents must help
their children learn how to
handle personal finances

beginning at this delicate age. .

It’s surprising money man-
y

agement isn’t taught in
school. It is a parental respon-
sibility.

So'start with children
when they are as young as
five. Involve them in discus-
sions about family finances
and major purchases. Explain
the difference between price
and value. And teach children
to be skeptical about advertis-

ing hype and marketing mad-
ness. Not everything adver-
tised is as it seems. Not every-
thing scen is what a person
needs. Many items don’t rep-
resent good value.

Children are naturaily curi-
ous when it comes to moncy
and they start spending it at
an early age. Typically, th
want to handle money and do
things with it. It is fun for
kids when they’re allowed to
pay the restaurant bill or pay

for store-bought items.
Parents should capitalize on
this to begin an educational
process that will make chil-
