The other day Cassie asked me if she wished upon a star would it come true? Well, no I said, there is such a thing as prayer, but just wishing to get something isn’t going to make it happen. After some probing I found out she asked because she wants a bag just like the one we bought for another girl’s birthday. A perfect teaching opportunity. We talked about how in order to buy something we need money, and in order to get money we need to work. So, if she wants that bag, she is going to have to work. We made up a work chart (1 dollar for clearing the table, 3 for dusting and watering the plant etc.) and she’s been saving. Just tonight she counted up her money and realized she has enough! So exciting! Way to go little girl!
