It's never too early to teach your children about the tool of money. Teach them how to work for it and they learn pride and self-respect. Teach them how to save it and they learn security and self-worth. Teach them how to be generous with it and they learn love.
Interpretation
Teaching children about money instills important values and skills in them.
Judith Jamison emphasizes the importance of educating children about money management. By teaching them to earn, save, and be generous with money, parents can instill values such as pride, self-respect, security, self-worth, and love in their children. This foundational education equips young people with the necessary skills to navigate financial responsibilities and fosters a sense of social responsibility and empathy.

Children feel the whiteness of the lily with a graphic and passionate clearness which we cannot give them at all. The only thing we can give them is information-the information that if you break the lily in two it won't grow again.
I can speak of my own criterion for judging whether or not a book is good or bad. I ask of it a single question, From how deep and true an impulse did it spring? Was it written merely to shock? Only to make money? Or was it written to create something more perfect and more lasting than the life experience from which it came?
I was read to as a small child, I read on my own as soon as I could, and I recall being more or less overwhelmed again and again - if not by what the books actually said, by what they suggested, what they helped me to imagine.
