Description

We cant afford it may not be the best response when children ask for expensive items. A financial psychologist suggests this phrase can create negative financial mindsets. Instead, parents should use these moments as teaching opportunities, explaining why certain expenses arent in the budget and sharing their financial priorities. This approach helps children understand the value of delayed gratification and thoughtful financial decisions, fostering a healthier relationship with money.
