　　kids have a long way to go in their lives. what they will be depend on the influence that they get before the age of 20. we must give them positive influence during their childhood.we should give a kid a little money when he is 9 years old. for instance, we can give a kid 10 yuan every month, and ask him to write us a report on how he uses the money. this can give him a right idea of how he should use the money.

　　we also should give the kids some chances to earn money, by which means we can show them that earning money is not easy, and they should spend the money carefully.the most important point is that we must tell the kids that money is not everything in our lives. there are lots of things that we can not buy with money, such as health and love.

　　consequently, the best we could do to provide the kids with a correct understanding of money is let them approach money closely. we should give a little money to the kids and tell them what money is at all.
